Me too, I don't have to work either, but then I wouldn't really fancy having to live off just £50 a week that Labour would pay me for sitting on my arse having 50 kids at the age of 13 and smoking all the money away down the estate.Comment

there should be an option for 'never'.
I want to die in harness.
I have sort of semi-retired (at age 43 and am 48 now) and get most of my income from property investments made in the good times. Fairly modest lifestyle but happy and relaxed. No mortgages or anything. Kids gone away - thank God. Wife also retired from proper work but does art and stuff.
I still like to design and code, and do consulting work and training for firms I know.
Think I would go mental through boredom if I had to hang out with all the boring old farts on the golf course all day. I hate gardening and DIY so it's back to the keyboard for me.
By the way Dave, I find your avatar strangely disturbing.Last edited by bogeyman; 31 January 2006, 14:57.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

I fancy cashing in around 10 years, sending any future kids down the (re-instated due to energy crises) coal mines, nipping off to the Maldives with a Twin Otter and fly a couple of tourists every now and then with my bare feet, retiring to my luxurious beach hut or boat with its own lagoon and white sand, drinking, fishing, tanning, exploring, sending emails and pictures of the place to people in the UK every now and then ...If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
