    Hi Folks,

    Glad to see that you're still here doing what you do best - encouraging other MSE-ers. I've retired at 60 and can recommend it. I've already got a voluntary job at the local hospital for 4 hours a week so that I don't miss the works company too much.

    I watch the birds in my garden, read when I want to, meet up with friends and sometimes just watch the world go by.

    When you get fed up economising, making do and stretching the pennies, keep going. There's nothing to beat retiring with no debt and no mortgage worries.


    Thanks for that encouragment that's exactly where I am hoping to get. I have paid off the mortgage and now working on increasing my pension pot :)
