Coming up to six years since I started this thread and I am starting to piece things together. We've moved into our retirement home which is a huge step both because it's where we really want to be but also because its massively inconvenient for work! So I've shifted to working largely from home. Essentially its a non sustainable working style so need to do something.
I have a meeting with my employer two weeks tomorrow and have set out four options for the future. If I get what I am looking for then I would drop down to one day a week working. If they won't agree then the other option is a complete exit. Will be an interesting conversation especially as I've just had one of my most successful months ever!
52nd birthday approaching which on my spreadsheets was always the long stop option. Financially we're in great shape and we have a really clear view on the life we want from here....what will actually happen however is anyone's guess ;-)
Good luck, but I will not be holding my breath.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -

If you google "early retirement forum", there are not that many.
It's quite US focused but there is a lot of discussion around early retirement in general (as opposed to the purely financial).
I have a different user name there but it wouldn't be that hard to find me ;-)Money won't buy you happiness....but I have never been in a situation where more money made things worse!0 -

It will be interesting to see your situation when you make the 4000th, or 5000th........0 -

"Grandad, why does everyone call it 'Marine Lifeing' when someone keeps on doing something long after they said they'd stop? Is it something to do with fish?"
