ATTAK Z Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Not from here but from work ... I'm almost 72 so thought it was time for a rest ... I'll probably do bits of design (construction) as long as I can but I don't enjoy the project management side of things nor the 9 to 5 anymore so it's time to go 1 Quote

andy james Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Good for you Hugh. Thinking you need a project car to fill all the surplus time you now have. 1 Quote
Keyser Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Have fun with whatever comes next mate 1 Quote
grahamc Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Whats taken you so long??? I retire from IT at the end of November, 2 weeks before my 39th birthday Absolutely agree with not being able to do 9-5 anymore......... CONGRATS!!! Quote
rabbitstew Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 72?!!!! wow. Hopefully I can retire before I reach that age, but at the moment with the wife & kids spending money like its going out of fashion its looking unlikely. Ive not even got a proper pension lined up yet. Argh! Enjoy the spare time! Quote
Kev T Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Good for you, i retired late last year and it's the best decision i have ever made, no more dancing to someone elses tune or an increasingly nightmare commute. Quote
mbs Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Well done you won't regret it, just done the same at 71. 1 Quote

Ekona Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 I'd smash it until it fell off. Front doors, back doors, side gate, the lot. 1 Quote

JetSet Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 I retired just before my 54th birthday. The company I worked for made me a good offer so I took the chance while it was there. During my time there I saw several guys that I worked with that had the option to retire early on full pension (at 62) with the company making up the state pension for 3 years! Quite a few of those who turned down the offer never made it to 65 and that swayed my decision to go while I had the opportunity. Pete Quote
