I am also leaving the world of contracting after 12 years at the end of the year, totally fed up of all the rubbish nowadays.
The original plan was to retire in 2 years but i have been offered a permie role for 3 days a week based wfh which i plan to take to see me out until i finally take the plunge ...... obviously much less money, but the office is closer to home that's if i ever need to attend and i get all the holidays and benefits, so no more sat on motorways for endless hours or crummy hotel rooms.
Suits me entirely , and i can stick the proverbial two fingers up to permie and walk away if it doesn'tComment

The Tories have done well.
Hope you have written to your MPs and told them due to the crap the Tories have done you have closed your businesses down and to send the letter to the Treasury. There is still time for you to do it today using writeToThem.com"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

What makes you think the government will allow you to retire early?
If too many do it they'll just find ways of lowering your pension income, forcing you to keep contributing to the tax take 'doing your fare share'.
So you should be encouraging Cukers to keep fighting and don't let the bastards grind us down, then you can slip off to retirement without the government having you in their crosshairs.
Personal statement: I do not intend retiring early, and will contract until I drop, whatever the rule changes enforced on me. I welcome paying 'my fair share of tax' helping out all those 'hard working families' on tax credits. Retire too early and you die young anyway. I think you're doing a marvellous job HMRC.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Due to the women whose pension ages were put up making a fuss the government is now careful to warn people before they are 50 if their retirement is likely to go up and ensure the media openly tell everyone."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
