    To retire now - what would I do? Who would I interact with? What a lonely and boring existence. Depressing to contemplate actually.

    Wouldn't you interact with your friends still, though? I guess you'd be more 'lonely' in the daytime whilst friends are at work, but personally, I'm fine with that. I don't get lonely and like my own company as well as company of my friends.
    As for boredom, I'd certainly be more bored at work that being at home watching TV, surfing the web, gaming, reading or doing whatever it is that people do in their spare time!

    It's not an idael situation as money would be tight.
    Makes me wonder though, how many people would still choose not to retire if they were given £3 million instead!! :)
    (I always thought that the reason everyone wants to win teh lottery is so that they can quit their jobs and actually enjoy life)
