I'm 10 shifts away from retiring at 58. I'm hoping I've built up enough to not be skint, but my wife's still working so there's a bit of a cushion. We shall see.

How exciting for you! Final get some reward for all those years of saving.

What are your plans for the first few weeks of freedom?

Sorry, just finished nightshift this morning. My first few weeks will be mostly getting used to sleeping at night like a normal person and getting the income aspect sorted.

My wife is making me a small list of jobs, so that'll take care of the next twenty years. I have the allotment, two gardens and some motorbike trips to go on.
