[Misc] Retirement

[Ding Dong !]

Spend a lot of my time now doing calcs on the pensions & savings I have trying to work out when I can potentially retire. And am hoping to do this in 18 months or so when i turn 59 or certainly wind down.

Seen a nice rise of circa £40K in the past 14 months for one of my pensions due to the rapid rise in the North American fund unit price that has gone from 2.79p to 3.54p in that time.

Mans a nutter but hey if my crypto and pensions keep rising in the way they are..............Go Trump !!!!!

I retired at 59 mate and that was three years ago. Lessons I've learnt:

You spend less than you think you will (other than trips / holidays, which you can turn on or off as finances dictate)

It's NEVER to early to retire

We always think we need to work but, equally, we sometimes enjoy it and it pays well, than keep doing it.

Only you know what you want to do, people around you say what they would do, but they're not you, go with what you REALLY want

So people worry about having nothing to do in retirement. To be honest I sometimes enjoy “nothing to do” so much that I do it for longer, it’s great.
