Flipping burgers is not for everyone.

So go to night school and improve your lot then.

So I must not enjoy myself because the bible says so ? Now I understand why I am gradually veering towards atheism.

Nope - for it is written -

I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live.

13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God.


So there you have it - enjoy your life.

Do what I do and just get a job that is not a grind.

Most jobs become a grind over time and thus I have changed career a few times. I simply don't understand the mentality of somebody that does not want copious leisure-time.

I'd rather retire early and at least have the opportunities that I would not have if I was committed to the daily grind.

I would also venture that if you 'retire' and then do nowt with yoiur life - Nature sees that and will take you out - you only have to see that stats from pension companies to leatn not many folk collect more than two years of their pension - and the rest of the pension goes into the pockets of the Pension companies- Im not having that.

By the same token, I have known many people that have developed health problems through the stress of work, and also some who never managed to draw a pension because they died while in work. I'd rather retire early and at least have the opportunities that I would not have if I was committed to the daily grind.

Thats funny - I guess nobody gets offered pension schemes anymore at interviews - perhaps people have a kind of intution they mght not be around to collect it ?

Whatever - I did not accept any pension schemes because I found them to difficult to understand - and anything in life that involves paying money and the details are unclear - beware.

Some pension schemes are non-contributory, so no contributions are necessary and thus a good deal. I have a deferred one with a bank from which I am currently waiting for a valuation.

If you have a company pension then the company contributes as well as yourself, and generally more, so in effect each year is worth a few thousand pounds extra salary. I also have one of these and is currently worth much more than a state pension would give me, yet it has been deferred for over a decade.

Other types of pension I agree are probably not good value, except a SIPP, but it is silly to knock all types when they can form part of a good retirement portfolio.
