Quite agree with you there OGF, hopefully Primus you will be able to do what you want regarding retiring, it's quite some weight off the mind
when you have the choice of getting rid of any stress from working.
Being self-employed I semi-retired 13 years' ago and took my personal pension as an annuity, just before those crashed in value, plus the maximum tax-free cash lump sum. The lump sum enabled me to pay off my biggest outgoing, the mortgage I had been paying for 38 years.
That was an interest-only mortgage with the usual problem of having to pay off some of the original mortgage as the original plan did not entirely cover the amount owed. The lump sum I took helped with that. Now fully retired life is so very different.
Best of luck with what you wish to do.
