    Sadly I have a lot further to go so I am working on milestones at the moment. Really peed off with the job so they are all financial rather than personal.
    18 months till the sharesave matures - currently up 78% on option price so it would be annoying to just get the cash back if I left.
    3 years till I turn 55 and get lots more choices as a result of access to pension money.
    I went to a retirement seminar last week which didn't tell me anything new but did confirm what I thought I knew. I was shocked at the lack of understanding in most of the audience - by the end the presenter was referring to me for confirmation on various aspects!!!

    Anyone else humming "The Final Countdown"...




    You will be now I've planted the earworm. Cue trumpet synth!!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.38% of current retirement "pot" (as at end April 2024)

    Better still, this song called " Take this job and shove it" by Johnny Paycheck (I kid you not):

    Same here. I found it looking for songs about giving up work. I love the song title!

    I don't care anymore - Phil Collins.

    I'm sure this wasn't the reason behind the lyrics, but they kinda fit!!!

    "I've got better things to do with my time..."
