Oldest child is independent. Next oldest will be independent in about two years, the youngest at the same time. Already cutting back on days worked - planned reduction of income/work by about 30% this year. I'm not yet 50.

I'd pay off the house, buy a car, have enough invested in shares to pay my annual expenditure +10% from the dividends (around 6% return if investing for dividends) then call it a day.

I was basing it on a passive income of 50k per year based on savings / investments. Presently getting in 24k passive income. If we were back to 5% interest Id be right on the money, but alas no.
Gig is pretty easy. They're all ready talking extension, though the three years they mentioned earlier in the week can feck off.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
