We have just had this decision made for us by my OH being made redundant at 61 when he was going to do part of the week until our state pensions kick in in five years' time. We have planned for the worst for years, have little in the way of debt and live frugal lives. Yet we live in a very expensive part of the country and our outgoings are high.
