No one ever regrets it Bazo, just take the plunge. Everyone is so conservative that by the time they are considering it they are well past the point at which it’s the right decision. (Ok being in the world of finance you probably have a more accurate judgment than most. But I bet you’re still erring on the cautious side.) |

Some people decide that retirement isn't for them. If that happens it's usually possible to find work.

I did a part time job on the checkout at Waitrose for a couple of years. My stand-out moment was when I charged a woman 540 quid for an avocado. |

It was a bit pricy even for Waitrose.

I bought 2 lampshades in a charity shop, £1.50 each. The sweet lady, who I guess retired some 15 or 20 years ago, rang up the sale as 3,000,000 (three million quid). The manager was called to sort it out. 🙂 |
