You are so wrong spitfire. I retired after working full time from the age of 15 to 67. One day, after yet another train cancellation, I just decided I had given enough to work.
Years ago, when we were young, children came along and paying a mortgage and other bills, a big chunk of HWMO's salary was being taken out towards private pensions. There were quite a few times when I felt resentful about that money being paid out. Not any more! Now that we have both retired and have no money worries, I am eternally grateful that he was the sensible one who ensured we could enjoy our retirement.
We no longer bother with holidays abroad, we have a campervan which we jump into and enjoy travelling anywhere we fancy in the UK with our two pooches.
Loving retirement, especially when we wake up and see it pouring with rain outside with the wind howling.
Time to put the kettle on again.
