I retire in 2 weeks time . Can't wait . When the day comes to you good folk have retired is it an anti climax or do you embrace the day.

Retired last year. Was OK at first, bit of a novelty. Now, I hate it. Feel I've lost my identity, contact with and from friends has fallen away. Every day is the same. Folk say 'join a club' 'get a hobby' 'oh if I were retired I'd do...blah blah blah'.

I've fallen into the self isolation trap and it's so hard to get out.

I sincerely hope your experience is better than mine

Absolutely love retirement!

I retired early and have been retired a year now.. what i would say is always have something to look forward too, whether that be a holiday or a weekend away, keep yourself busy, healthy and exercise (you dont have to be a gym bunny but keep moving) .. and last but not least, don't just stay indoors, get out a bit and meet up with you friends... It has worked for me!

Im excited for you.

I made a decision recently & planning to retire next summer and I can’t wait. I would actually do it sooner but want to wait until my youngest finishes uni.

I have a good 1-2 years worth of major house and garden projects to do and so many UK and Europe trips I’m planning and just looking forward to 4 seasons, a simple life, lots of quality unrushed time with friends and family, simple things like going to a cafe and reading a book or walking by a river …. On a ‘work’ day!

If after a couple of years i feel bored I’ll get a part time job

Spend less or earn more would be solutions to that.

I will almost certainly be dead before I reach retirement age, whenever that is.

couple, us we him her.


"I will almost certainly be dead before I reach retirement age, whenever that is."

Same, still owe a fuckload on the house so even though I've been working since I was 15 some bad luck and bad financial decisions have left me with the prospect of working until I'm 70.

And if I make it to then I'll probably drop dead a week later.

40 year's in the building trade and my body is wrecked I can't imagine how I'm going to keep going another 15!!

Retirement is a pipedream something that one way or another I doubt I'll ever see.

See you'd think it was just common sense but the poster I replied to didn't seem to be able to put those pieces together in order to better their lot later in life.

Lifes departure lounge NN9 Northamptonshire East not West MidlandsMidlands

I initially retired at 60 and was enjoying life, then one day a Head Hunter came knocking at the door offereing me a

lucrative job which I just could not refuse.

On reaching 70 I decided to give retirement another go and here we are 14 years on fully enjoying life and taking every day as it comes.

I do have health issues which affect my mobility, but as my GP said "keep taking the tablets", which I do.
