Latchford Locks Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I finished a few years early in 2010 and have not regretted one single minute of it... Did my bit from 15 to 60, now it is someone else's turn. Enjoy your new found freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Congratulations on you retirement Asp. Must admit I though you were a lot younger than retirement age So what have you got planned for all your free time now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Don't bother making plans or looking forward to any free time, I can tell you from experience you will not have any. Often wonder how I found time to work since i packed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm 65 next week. I'm sure I'll find something to keep me busy, but I'm going to get into a watch-free sleeping pattern first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Asp... if you had joined the Police instead of going to sea, you could have been retired for almost 20 years now and had a nice pension to boot... often wish I'd listened to my dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 When I was in my 20s I was assured that EVERYBODY would be retiring at 55. Unfortunately the politicians had different ideas for our future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
