Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I retired at end of May this year at 55 and haven't regretted a day.

This is my current view

Don't recognise either of them. The one on the left may be a Mistral by the colour?

Sue's planning to retire next year at 60.

Financially, and since I don't particularly hate my job and it's only nine days a fortnight, ideally I'll hang on to 63, although 62 will probably be where I end up drawing the line. I'm 58 later this month - so soon but not *that* soon.

My pension is going to be worth half of Boris' weekly takeouts a year so I'm not retiring any time soon.

I'm 55 next year. I will be looking at my options very carefully with a view to at least going part-time.

I "retired" in my forties and recommend it very highly, although pandemic has put something of a dampener on things so far.

I won’t be retiring but unlike most people I haven’t had a full time job since 2003, I currently have a job as a relief PA, 0 hours contract to cover the PA when she has holiday or can’t work!

I will likely need to get a job later in life although I have no idea what I’m going to do 😂

That reminds me. About 10 years ago we were on a family holiday. Mrs Axe was between jobs at the time.

We were sat one night at a roof top restaurant and Mrs Axe said I cannot wait to be retired. My daughter said 'Mum, how can you retire when you don't have a job !'
