Reply to: Plan B's

[Whorty]

Semi-retired at 47, took an easy ride on a doss permie job and watching the investments bring in more than my contracting income did.

Spending freely, not chasing money any more. Time is the most valuable commodity and I'm using as much of it as I can to be with my kids. The money chase is just a distraction and I'm so much happier that I don't do it any more.

Similar. I finished work in April and taking a year sabbatical. Could fully retire now in early 50s but I'm too young, so now planning to work part of the year, starting next spring. Take enough to pay the bills and a few holidays, draw the rest from my investment income.

Life is too short to work ourselves into the ground. We get one chance, live it to the max. We can always make more money, we can't make more time!

Oh, I'm back again - wanted to see how things had changed since I was last here, seems not much at all. Same old same old

Knowing what I know and being where I am (usual disclaimer) my views on Plan B's are thus:

If even Baldrick had a plan then you should definitely have a plan too!!!!!!

Not much planning gone on here. Just a serious of mostly lucky accidents.

im not even sure if I had a plan A.

Same as me: just went with the flow until some mofo or other upset me, then fecked off to do something else.

I'm still slightly amazed that some of the mofos referred to are still above ground. .

I know that feeling. Have bimbled my way through life.

My uncle was asking me the other weekend what my plans were for the next 5 or 10 years and was shocked by the "haven't got a clue" response.

Yep as every door started closing I managed to run for the exit and the next room was mainly better.

Next 5-10 years = Safeguard my liver!

I really need to think of a plan B. All my time is taken up with that one line macro, sadly.

add a logo and a copyright statement and LadyMacro ltd is born!

I'll see what chaos the Strategic Defence Review causes before I consider a Plan B.

The market for my plan B expanded massively yesterday..

Some sort of supply chain/compliance tracking for supply chains with umbrellas? Yes, I suppose it did...

[sadkingbilly]

Plan? - what plan? - we don' need no steenking plan!
