Thank you Capt_F.
 but a little more really! (two months)It's a bit daunting thinking that I'll never earn a wage again. |
|
By:
Have a good retirement, Charlie.
Really  |
|
By:
Thank you trillby. I'll try.
|
|
By:
Consider yourself fortunate Charlie for I wouldn't like to be starting out on my career in this day and age.
The good old days are gone and there's only trouble ahead. Enjoy the good times while they last. |

I retired a few years ago after a life of self employment. It took a lot of getting used to that someone (the govt.) would give you money (pension) without you having to do anything for it.

Still seems strange. Started work at 16. Had a couple of years off to look after daughter while her mom worked. It's all surreal: no work, no pressure, no money, just do what I want if I can afford it.

Should add three years not working when getting degree which was paid for.

By:
It takes a while to adjust Charlie.
What's gone is gone. What you have to look forward to is a lifelong holiday. Brilliant! Take things easy and enjoy. |

Charlie, none of us get out of this alive, Enjoy it mate, you've earned it.

Wish I could retire

I have to be honest the last thing I want is retirement.I like routine,something to get up for from Mon-Fri and I realise I will be slated for saying this.
|
|
By:
That is perfectly understandable, MadVlad.

Happy retirement, Charlie

Possible Charlie but unlikely.

By:
Thank you Makybe.
MadVlad, I don't think you will be slated. I'm having second thoughts after one day! |
|
By:
I have urges to go it alone. Heard oven cleaning is a good gig.

By:
You can start with mine

It`s a start

I must admit admit that I was a fortunate in earning more than minimum wage but, as a soldier, programmer, lecturer and other things, not a fantastic wage. I should also add that most of my lifetime earnings/savings were spent on care costs for, sadly, deceased wife. Pension(s) have been spent on getting various houses for various people. I now have no pension to talk about. You always come across as being a happy, decent, understanding person and money can't buy that. I really do wish you well. |

Bloke I know has a once in a life time opportunity to go it alone, he won`t take it. Just has a crappy job like me too.
|
|
By:
You too Charlie. Many use retirement to find themselves, away from work and the other half.

Is the potash near Whitby trilby?
|

By:
Well if you're talking about missed opportunities I used to be best mates with the founder members of Judas Priest. They wanted me to be the vocalist. I said no.
