"I retired at 50, took a few years out and got bored. Went back full time into a senior role with a FTSE, hated it and left. Now I work when it suits as I able to bid for work on a daily rate on contracts ranging from 1 month to 12/18 months It's suits me and I am very happy." Sounds perfect | |||

Being in control of your own time is incredibly liberating. | |||

"What age would you like to/be able to retire and what will keep you occupied?" I work for myself. I'll never retire. Too many people want to kick my ass to feel better about the shit they DIDN'T do themselves. | |||

"when i see topic titles like thing i think "oh god... here comes the pension whinges!!! ) but i have been surprised.... i may live to fight another day and be happy tonight.... " It is great to see that many people value things in different ways. I work less than many, my choice and one I constantly re_iew, but one based on me valuing life and experiences more than money. A really interesting thread. | |||

"I believe it is traditional in my line of work to carry on until you die. And let the crows pick you clean. Ive known plenty still working well into their 70s, it seems as soon as they stop,they keel over..." Part of me wouldn't mind being able to retire but constant job changing etc means not enough in the plan for that, kinda temp retired tho being between jobs atm lol. Know what you're saying though, we need something to keep us ticking over or the clock can just stop sooner than we expected. | |||

"What age would you like to/be able to retire and what will keep you occupied?" . I have had lots of different interesting jobs so retirement is very low on my list of priorities . Hopefully I will be able to work my seventies . In addition to working full time , I also rent out houses so am usually busy . As I enjoy my work and the people that I work with I have no ambition to retire . I do however save into two separate pension schemes . | |||

"Depends a lot on the choices I make over the next few years. Worked out we could pay our mortgage off and the loan we took to pay for the house doing up (it was a wreck) in 11 years. I get a really good pension scheme through work to, so could probably comfortably retire at 55 - only 32 years to go " . Very well organised. You are lucky to be young and to have planned forward . | |||

"I got out at 50, now I make stuff from wood, it's very satisfying. But I still have to do some work from time to time as wood is too expensive in this country to make a decent profit. Plus I also work as an event organiser for 2 biggish parties each year. Not sure how I ever had time for work. " I'm much the same, stopped working full time a few years ago and now cannot imagine how I ever had time for it! | |||
