I am. Though I think I’ll get a place on dry land for the winters. Maybe a static home somewhere?

My research on living aboard suggests it can be quite hard in winter. Plus, do I want to be living on a boat as I creep into my dotage? Could be tricky.

There are quite a few second homers who like someone in their Spanish bolt hole during the winter, saw a site once, I'll see if I can find it.

I used to work for a large Government agency and when a colleague (who was about 58) left on an early release scheme his boss (an ambitious younger person in their late 30s) actually said out loud , "Oh I wish we could plug a USB stick into your brain, to download all your knowledge."
I suppose a genuine question might be why the ambitious individual didn’t “plug the USB in” before he left?

Talk of means testing but at what level? Eye opening levels of retirement income for moderate/comfortable living standards


Income needed for a moderate retirement soars by 38% (as per retirement living standards update)​

Beware of static homes. They can have hidden costs ... plot fees etc. And exorbitant charges for water. Stupid rules and regulations. Dubious site ownership. They degrade as well ..... obviously.
