      I'll retire when people stop giving me loads of money to do a little interesting stuff from the comfort of my study.

              No. I'm planning for semi-retirement. I want to get the mortgage paid off so I have the option to offer as much training or consultancy as I need to live, or to just get a part time job tinkering with bicycles in the local bike shop. In any case, something I can do until I fall over.
