    Yes. A mate's father saw his contemporaries retire in the 1970s then see their pensions get eroded by the inflation back then. He carried on working until he was nearly 80.

      Spells out of work have made me reassess all this. You really have to plan your retirement because it is a massive change when you are bouncing around with no work to provide a framework. This is not just economic, but this is a big element - have you all got enough stashed to maintain your lifestyle etc ? I accept old people don't spend much, everything paid off etc.

        I'm never going to retire.

        May do a couple of days a week on various projects if I can get a decent wedge when we go IPO.

              Not until

              Agile is declared a useless waste of space of methodology. Then and only then will I consider full time house husband duties. Till then I'll continue annoying scrum masters the world over

                50-60. If I can continue to get decent work I'll be out of IT in three years time. Lots of plans after that so not exactly retirement but I'll only be 53 so I'll have to do something. Might do the odd day's consultancy to keep my hand in but I'm planning to go back into property development on a small scale plus a few other things..

                  Isn't it more likely that the scope of Agile will be iteratively changed until it's something else just as useless?

                    Agile? Now there's a useless waste of space of methodology...

                    Happy husbanding!
