Pensions

Why would you carry on working if you can afford not too.  We retired at 60 and are lucky to be able to live comfortably on a private pension. 

Other half worried about not working but now his days are full of activities ......sailing, bowling, badminton, table tennis, tennis.  Oh and we holiday home and away.  

My father died when he was 62, he had just retired and my parents were looking forward to a long retirement.  You just never know do you.  

 

Write your comments here...I retired in Jan 2015 at the age of 63. I have a private pension and other income -  I could live quite happily.  All was well and I really enjoyed my caravanning and leisure time until that is, a friend rang and asked, as I was an ex police driver, would I be interested in driving an ambulance car for vital organ donation work. The rest is history. I absolutely love this job and have increased my time from 2 days a week to 4 days a week. It's what gives you a reason for being here! It 's not the money ( not at those wages!!) it's the feeling of satisfaction and that I am a tiny cog in a large machine but a vital one. The company I work for is a good and caring company. I am fit, healthy and willing! Why not? The tax man is happy too don't forget!!
