I’ve found the middle ground of being self employed and working part time at 57, though I’d like to be retired by 60 (well 50, but that hasn’t happened). We are mortgage free and have finished upgrading the home and garden, so are well set in that regard. It mostly now just an equation of filling the gap between now and the state pension at 65.
At the moment the income is useful as we want to travel more and that’s not cheap from New Zealand.
I’ve also got my retirement system in place, though a new TT is tempting if I work enough .
The 300DR will shortly be replaced with 350 and moved to second system.
I know position of 606s looks odd, slightly sitting in bay, but trial and error suggests it is best place.
On retirement, my most productive years by far were between 50 and 68, when some big technological developments were achieved. I still potter through advising a few companies, but my main interests lie elsewhere.
The answer is yes, quite likely.
My opinion is not determined by who is listening.
You are not able to know how or what I may or may not reply (or say) to anyone else.
