Only freedom will do

I have decided to retire this thread as my life has pretty much changed completely since I started it 3+ years ago :j

1. I am now a dad to a beautiful, loving, mischevious toddler
2. We've left our FTB flat for the house in the suburbs and I have no idea how we're going to pay it off
3. I start a new job next week with a defined benefit pension and the slavish adherance to the FI mantras of savings ratios and SWRs no longer fit
4. I fear that I may be growing up a little bit
5. We've nearly finished renovating the house and I don't feel the need to moan anymore!

New and positive diary coming some time soon :beer:

Wonderful reasons to make a change, Ed, that's great. I'm feeling a bit of a need for change myself, actually ... anyway, please post the linkie to your new diary on this one, when you're ready

I'll second Karmacat.

Your post reminds me that three years is actually quite a time and a lot does change during such a time period.
