Retiring!

[Mikey]

Thank your lucky stars I say, if they linked life expectancy with retirement, then you wouldn't be retiring until the age of 71 if you are a man, and women would be older still.

I'm not yet retired, but I'm looking forward to it creeping up on me, a bit like the bad back and the dodgy knees, and the bizarre moan I make when I try to get out of bed. On second thoughts I think retirement is unlikely, if I retire I might not get up again.

I am 33, and I am already planning my retirement. (This is a semi serious comment).

I just hope I am still in reasonable health then!

But you never know, I might somehow come into piles of cash before retirement age!!!!

Same... Need to pay the mortgage off first... Or, shack up with Dotty as it would appear she is into toy boys!

At last I'm there! 65! But, where the hell did those years go! My eldest son is 41, HOW COME! Any body else find the time just whipping by?

Enjoy your retirement, dear Zebedee!

[Snadger]

Time for bed said Zebedee!

Enjoy your retirement.

The Brigade got me when I was 48 - I was so upset
In fact, when Voluntary Redundancy was mentioned I had to keep my hands in my pockets and my lips sealed for a few minutes (difficult!) - before my hands shot up in the air and I shouted "Me, Me,Me!!!"
One of the best things that have happened to me

That's pretty much what happened to me at about the same age. I didn't retire though until I had a stroke 10 years later.

Enjoy your retirement, Zebedee, you'll wonder how you ever had time to work.

[Tripmeup]

Enjoy your retirement!!... And the time to do with what you wish

Happy Retirement!
We moved to France two weeks after I retired and havent looked back...miss the children and grand daughter but we visit them and they visit us ..
Have a wonderful next 30 years.

Nah, don't do bingo or golf or that sort of stuff, but my eldest son has a philosophy that I buy into full time - you are only young once, but you can be immature for ever! Guess what?

[Jardiniere]

there was an article in the daily mail (i look at it online with all the other papers - you can do that when you retire) that said for a happy retirement you need an income of �17,000 and a house in the South West. I'm in the SW of France - hope that counts. IOW? South or south west?

[zebedee]

South Central really. We is just on the middle.
