    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. Once the mortgage is paid off in 150 years time, I could probably do something that I really enjoy, cooking related, part time and then spend the rest of my days travelling and kicking tramps.
    Same here, but less time to pay off the mortages and no kicking tramps.

    Easy to do if you keep yourself active. To many people retire and think that's it, they don't have to do anything anymore. The ones I see living longer are the ones with allotments, or always outside doing something. One neighbour, aged 78, 3 days after his hip being replaced was out trying to build a summerhouse. 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.
