Retirement is great!

I've got 1 year, 8 months and 28 days to go. I can't wait to leave the world of work behind.

Sounds like some jobs are a lot better than others.
I'm lucky that my job is a lot better than that.
yeah sure there’s still frustrations and restrictions but generally it’s fun.
puts a different spin on it.

You must have walked to work then. I’ve done it all one time or another, traveled by company car, by train, the underground, and the bus. No so bad when you are young, I do not miss that crap, road rage, women pushing you out the way to get the last seat, nah, stuff work.

@thumbs_up, having commuted for 39 years and being female, I would suggest that, in my experience, pushing somebody out of the way to get the last seat is not gender specific !

I’ve been retired 8 years…..the very best thing is not having that awful sinking feeling of dread on a Sunday evening which precedes the upcoming week in the office…….well that and the elation of getting paid the guaranteed pension without fear of being sacked or loosing one’s means of existence

Only real downside is I lost my beloved cat last year and really must give another a good home…
 

Please do, all the cat rescue places are absolutely bursting at the moment 😔

995 Days to go...
That is if I retire at 66....

Really want to retire now,
But the fear of financial instability in the economy really has hit my confidence in taking the leap...
Income currently exceed expenditure by £1000-1500 a month, so building retirement pot... and adding to pension..
