I turned 62 this year. Having already paid off our mortgage but with the state pension some way off, a flexible retirement seemed the way to go for me. I shall enjoy my spare time.Congratulations - well done you!
I also decided to retire (early at 63) a few months ago - not getting any younger/cost-benefit analysis.
Still getting my head round the major life change but definitely a good decision...
Good for you. I’m in a similar situation. Just turned 63, I think I can retire now on my navy pension with some occasional self employed work thrown in from time to time before state pension kicks in. Just to make it more fun, I’ll be clearing off to Spain in a couple of months after selling up here. Good luck!I've been employed, self-employed and, again, employed. Having worked far too hard, for far too long in my current role, I've decided to take a flexible retirement, which means taking part of my pension, stepping back and working part-time - so still earning, whilst adding to my pension. I'm fortunate to have mostly been in final salary pension schemes, which means a reasonable lump sum and annual pension on top of my salary and savings etc. As for my current role, in the words of a recently deposed MP, it's great to be free and I'm glad it's behind me ...
