Same here, but less time to pay off the mortages and no kicking tramps.Originally posted by hyperD View PostWDPS!
No chance of me retiring. I'll carry on doing IT as long as I can stick it or until I punch any useless manager or team lead in the head repeatedly.

I think the ones who die, run out of ambition, or imagination,

No. I'm planning for semi-retirement. I want to get the mortgage paid off so I have the option to offer as much training or consultancy as I need to live, or to just get a part time job tinkering with bicycles in the local bike shop. In any case, something I can do until I fall over.

Well we've seen the issues early retirement has caused for one forum member on this site. He is now even more delusional and obnoxious than he used to be.Originally posted by Spacecadet View Post
