I feel for them.
I should be able to retire at 65.
I start my new job on the 22nd , so have a week finally of not applying for new jobs and pretending to be Mary Poppins when I get a phone call.
I do have a few pensions already so with any luck I should be able to retire when I'm pushing up the beetroot.
Retirement early is too overhyped
After an endless phase of doing jack-all, you'll get the boredom setting in

Absolute nonsense, I have been retired for nine years, and never have enough time to do everything I want to do.
Last week for example I went for a 10 mile walk on Monday, Bournemouth Tuesday, day in Wednesday, Doctors and check ups Thursday, Newmarket Racing Friday. The whole week taken up, and still didn`t do a lot of things I wanted to do.

We need to set up more internet football forums to help combat the problem.
One of the lucky ones. Got out at 56 ( albeit took a small part time job after for a couple of years after that ) key to that was a decent "final salary" company pension, and some other good financial planning when younger. I think, unless you drive a train, these pension schemes no longer exists.
Feel sorry for the current generation. Like someone above said, could be well into 70's before this generation can pack it in.

Steve, you have to remember though a lot of the younger generation go to University, and don`t start work until they are about 30. I started work at 16, and still managed 45 plus years at work. So it is swings and roundabouts.
