Life after contracting

Life after contracting. What will you do?

Guess it depends when you give it up.

Will you do it for another 10 years and retire.

Or will you just do it until you've cleared your mortgage, debts and have a BTL.

If you had to choose a completely different career, within reason (exclude sports superstar careers here, and certain acting roles), looking to dedicate 10+ years to it... what would it be?

I guess money is less of an issue as you've made enough from your contracting to own property and set up investments.

What would you do?

The way things are going hen I stop contracting I will be carried out in a box.

Been collecting retirement cash for the last 10 years and will have enough by Christmas. Also been planning 'retirement' (aka not working in IT, but something more interesting and not necessarily for the money- a portfolio of interests) for the last 4 years. The building of our retirement pad starts in 2 weeks and will be complete by the end of the year.

give us some ideas

Large scale organic gardening
Rare breed farming
Fish farm
Vintage car restoration
Commodities and currency trading
High end real estate rental
Ad hoc consultancy for previous friends and clients
Inventing million selling products
Antiques dealing
Software and hardware design
Micro businesses incubation

All profitable but not so unwieldy that it will take more than my extended family to manage.

ok, but all money-orientated it seems to me

I wonder if there is a Large scale organic gardening forum somewhere with a bored farmer pondering a move to IT Contracting.
