FabSwingers.com forum: What kind of pensioner do you want to be?

By *hagTonight OP Man

From the land of haribos.

Just over 60 a lot of people will think, ah, that is the time I want to retire. I want to give up, have an easy life and sit infront of the box for the rest of my life.

I dont want to do that, no way. I have a lot to do and things I dont want to give up on doing, like with the training, painting, learning languages go out for walks, doing yoga. I cant just sit down and do nothing, that is not me. I am an active person.

It would be interesting to see what kind of person you are, will you give up everything for an easy life when you retire or have you still got things that you want to do and if you are retired now, was it the life that you pictured yourself to have too?

I'll likely be late for my funeral as I'm still in a meeting. Retirement looks like a luxury I won't be able to afford.

I would however like to be the woman who goes a bit wild. The one you look at in a group and never know what she might come out with next .

I certainly can't see me slowing down, and honestly don't know if I really want to .

When I turned 60, I realised life is a narrow thread so it's time to try lots of new things and have no regrets 😁

Giving up work just after 60 is probably just a dream for most due to finances.

I don't think many are thinking they'll just sit in front of the telly though.

I'm looking forward to a hopefully easy life, free from the demands of the daily grind

Definitely won't be giving up or being sat in front of the telly, retirement should be when you actually have time and energy for yourself, doing things you like and sometimes choosing to share them with people you like being around, as opposed to have to be around. I'm 60, and planning on having fun for many years yet!😁

I’m closer to my pension than a lot of people on here. I’m nearly 64 and took the decision to semi retire in January. I was a company director, but relinquished that role and now Company Sec. I wanted time for my sporting hobbies and just enjoy my life. I’ll continue to work probably always….and I joined Fab

This year, I have sorted out a few things in my life which means I can retire at 60 if I wish to. The reasons for that is that I want to enjoy the things I like doing for as long as I can, without being restricted by work.

So I intend to do a lot more walking in the Lakes and Peaks, hitting the road on my motorbike and exploring new places, and maintain a good social life too of course.

Retirement is what you make it, I retired at 62 but was headhunted for a job and worked on until I was 70.

A friend introduced me to Fab and I had an enjoyable 10 years until Covid arrived, whilst I avoided the dreaded illnes the restrictions in place dictated what activities I could do.

Health issues and now in my mid 80s have brought my retirement to a standstill in more ways than one.

My only advice is that if you are thinking of retiring just make sure you have sufficient money to enjoy it.

We were fortunate enough to retire when we each reached 50. We feel that a combination of relaxation and getting out and about as much as possible works well. We love our boat and the Suffolk coast & countryside. The luxury of time when you have your health is immeasurable. Never want to be grumpy!

I am the kind of pensioner I wanted to be. Actually it's way better than I ever imagined.

Of course money stands in the way of some of our more excessive plans but basically we do what we want, when we want.

All the things we didn't have time for or could only do to a limited extent when we were working are now available to us 24/7.

If I want to spend three hours chatting to a friend I can, if we wake up to an unexpectedly sunny day we can just get in the car and go wherever we want (within reason), that dresser that needs upcycling can be done any time rather than just at the weekend, spend an hour or more a day learning a language...no problem.

I planned to reduce my workload gradually over several years but my current client died and the next job was cancelled and so I took the opportunity to retire.

It was like grieving for months. I was completely at a loss. But I found a pastime I had never considered and now it consumes my time so that I ma kept as busy as when I was working. Never looked back.

I'm not waiting til I retire to be a different person or to do stuff on a bucket list. That's not living, that's existing.

I'm maybe not going to retire either as I currently am really happy in my role. So I'm gonna make plans and do things now and when I hit 60+ I'll be bouncing through my likes and wants and being as free as I can be from stresses and strains ☺️🫡🤠🤓

Whether I ever retire or not one thing I won't be is inactive, I'd have to lose my marbles or my mobility for that.

My great uncle is just like me in that he's always got to be doing something. Blatant undiagnosed autistic. He's 90 now and still part of folk groups, dance groups, writing groups all while caring for his wife of 70 years. Something like that will do me just fine.

My hope and aim is for us to do anything and everything together, build memories, share life. We have a few big plans, but just the little things of life are better with her. What might be old experiences for one of us are new experiences for the other, the familiar for one becomes the exciting for the both. Rainbow xxx

Sitlington

The kind that I now am. Retired early back in October last year. Spent 12 weeks holidaying in various countries and enjoyed some time at home as well. I eat when I need or want to, sleep when I want to and get up when I'm ready to. I decided not to give myself lots of things to do as I can easily fill in the hours I know have. Sometimes I do nothing. Try it, you may like it. Sometimes I watch the cricket on TV or live at grounds. I drink red wine when I want some, even if that's mid afternoon as I sunbathe naked in the garden. Work had pressure and huge restraints on my time. Now I have none of those. I would advise anyone to not make too many plans but , just enjoy the time, make the most of it or as little of it as you like. Lastly, fuck a lot more!

Well, I quit working at 52 and about to start full-time university in September I will probably start another business in the next year or two.

I’ve never put anything off until retirement, as a concept traditional retirement doesn’t really mean much to me. I don’t want to go on cruises go dancing, or play table tennis with the old ladies at the local church community Centre.

I’ve enjoyed every stage of my life so far I have no intention of slowing down or changing until my mind all my body needs it.

Thinking I had to my 80s and 90s, that’s a massive 30-40 years away, I’m thinking what are the potential problems in that stage - running out of money , health, mobility , impotence ? and what can I be doing now to minimise them or avoid them.

I have been a pensioner for a couple of years now albeit work based pensions. I go to the gym, holiday frequently and do some work in the gig economy.

I work in the garden but I don’t have to rush it as I have all the time in the world to do it.

I have no where near the income I had when I worked but I’m amazed that I don’t seem to need as much now, I have no idea how though.

One thing I haven’t done is make going to the pub a regular occurrence. Since I stopped I think I have been in a pub 4 or 5 times during the week, and was for lunch with friends.

Travel around Europe. - It doesn't have to be expensive and I'd be happy to visit places out of season or during school term times.

Not by coach holidays though, dear goodness no, Not By Coach.

(Shudders at the thought) but to be clear, taking the coach as a means of transport between point A and point B, then perhaps, similar to taking the train, plane or ferry.

But DEFINITELY NOT coach holidays to Eastbourne etc.

No, I'd prefer to drive around Europe in my car. No schedule, just a very long list of places to visit.

When home, I'd learn to properly play musical instruments; guitar, sax, organ, piano.

Oh, and of course, I'd take a huge tour of swingers clubs.

your wildest dreams,

Not quite 60 yet Shag but I’ve retired and I’m busier than I ever was. I feel I’m fitter and way more active than I ever was, maybe because I have the time to do those things without worrying I was just indulging myself and should have been doing something else. I’m more relaxed, calmer in myself, which makes me a nicer person to be around. Again I think that comes down to time. I’m not always stressing about how much I can fit in. And I enjoy life. I appreciate the smallest things because I’m not in a hurry doing 5 things at once.
