When do you intend to retire?

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Seen some contractors in late sixties still raking in the corn. Will you be long since retired? What's your plan?

As soon as possible. Currently 30, maybe when I am 35?

I am 32 and a fair bit, all my planning is pointed at retiring at 55, although more than likely will look to go part time rather than stop contracting all together.

Of course this is no guarantee, I might do something stupid like have another kid or go permie which will mean plans inevitably change

I CBA with a massive push to retire early. I'm currently contracting full-time but I have worked a lot of 2 to 4 day per week contracts over the last few years, to spend time with the kids while they're still tiny. You don't get those days back when you retire. And I don't fancy a heart attack or stroke, either.

My "business plan" is predicated on working 8-9 months a year for that exact same reason, which is why I am more included to go part time early rather than fully retire.

Already have. Not yet 40. How?

Be extremely dull and even work seems interesting

FTFY. Most apt in your case.

That's my view too. I'd rather enjoy life now than bank on being healthy and able to make the most of things in 30 years time.

Yet you ended up an accountant.
