My mate's dad retired about eight years ago at 50 and spends all his time indoors, on Arsenal chatrooms and counting his investments. Except he keeps his garden quite nice.

Yep. I have in-laws who retired decades ago and they've turned into real OAP types. My mum, on the other hand, is still working at 74 and she's quite the opposite.

Why save,save, save all the time to retire at 40 or 50?
What will you do then?
3 days on and 4 days off will be good.
Enjoy your whole life.
Get your shoes shined.
Have a nice car and holidays.
Get a good suit and a nice watch.
Your never know you might not make 50.
It's not as if our jobs require alot of physical effort.

(a) You've got to look after it
(b) You've got to earn more than me

Anyone on contractor money that starts early enough and adopts a sensible approach should be able to get out within a 20-25 year timeframe - unless they actually enjoy it of course!

Originally posted by wendigo100If I had a pound for everyone who I've heard say that, I'd be able to retire at 50.
And if I had a pound for everyone who looks like being (or was) wrong, I'd be able to retire twice at 50.
