Can you retire from this board?

Good stuff Cyber! - Defo a pleasant surprise.

**Cyberman** · 14 January 2009, 23:26

Thanks Liability.

It's not often I get good financial news these days, in fact it has been fairly dire since Y2K. It's nice knowing that I won't have to work again unless I really want to.

I got that feeling from reading your post - hence it must be excellent. I can only wish - I'm still alot younger but hopefully Ill be there soon. I just hate the fact that I have a mortgage and its such a burden. If I didnt have a mortgage - Id be happy, even though I can afford it etc - if that makes sense!

So does that mean you now dont care about getting a role or the downturn as much?

Well, I'm certainly not as concerned as I was, but I do feel for many people that are less fortunate than myself.
Financial stability gives me plenty of time to venture into other areas of interest without worrying about how I pay the bills. Having suffered health problems last year, work is not very high on my list of priorities.

Should help to pay for the Daily Mail deliveries

Seriously though, congratulations - it must feel wonderful to get good news like that in the current climate

Congrats, better than nothing.

But if it isn't index linked you might still be working until you drop like the rest of us (or some of us) ...

I trust you'll be blaming this good news on New Labour.

Excellent news though! Congrats!

I too got some good news yesterday - Ealing council are refunding a "Stuck in a box junction" fine they gave me earlier in the year!

Is real life turning into Monopoly?

A happy day for Cyberman
