I'll be retired by the time I'm 30 (5 years - at this rate it might just be possible). See many people think they are going to be retired by the age of 30 then they get married and have kids. But I have confidence that my looks and personality are of a sufficent calibre to keep the women away and actually make it a reality.
See how many of you now wish you were an ugly social outcast with no social skills. Yeah...thats how I roll.Comment

Retiring by 30... Mmmm... but you can't carry on living at your mums, are you budgeting for a house? According to the papers your looking at 200k per child to bring them up, so I think I'll leave out the kids as well.
I've took 3 months off and now I don't think I could retire at all. I'd get too bored. I'm looking properly now, if I take any more time off I'm gonna start chewing the sofa.Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway.Comment

Tend to go for a swim afterwork - so around 7ish."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Yes I am looking for a house. Just Leicester doesn't really have any nice areas to move to the are close to the center and near the motorway. I could always move to spinney hills
Not having kids. If I do I'll make them work for their keep.Comment

Holy Christ, some of you guys seem to work work longer hours than Maggie Thatcher.
Just remember:
Early to rise, late to bed,
