    Great thread, thankyou everyone. It's comforting to know I'm not alone!
    I was hoping to retire a few years ago but then along came Ukraine, Truss, Cost Of Living crisis, etc. and I got cold feet.
    I'm now thinking of retiring in maybe next year or 2027 - it's still a little bit scary though.

    Thanks for posting @grimsalve, once you are confident in your figures, please be wary of falling into the ‘one more year, trap.
    It’s just one year less of owning your time
