Many congrats Rob, I'm not envious in the least, but I'm envious :) I'm 53 as well and will have done 40 years at the same place in 4 years time and need to decide whether to carry on, probably not worth it pension wise. I could do flexible retirement in 2 years ie a 3 day week but secretly I would love to finish as soon as I can. My dad passed away at 61 and never enjoyed retirement and it's something that always strikes a note with me that life is too short to carry on working.

All the best in what you decide to do.

Tim.

Congrats Smartbear. Enjoy your retirement :thumbsup:
Just over 3 months to go for me. From the 1st May I'll be on half time until I retire. It's the company's way of getting you used to the idea of not working. I've worked shifts all my working life & for the last 10 years started work @ 6am everyday. Must say I don't think I'll miss that!
All the best.
Zedless :(

Didnt think you were anywhere near retirement age...I see more and more people retiring younger and I'm beginning to wonder about the whole scenario...i cannot even imagine retiring as I get seriously bored just having a few weeks off :D
I know Im probably one of those sad bastards that loves their job and enjoys going to work, I like routine and being around folk and cant imagine life without it :cry: what do you plan to do with all your time?
I turned 53 last month, I've had a good job as a technical officer for London underground but I won't miss the shift work or the weekend working. I've got some good friends I'm leaving behind but that's the only lament.
My mum only had 2 years retired before she suffered a major stroke & I think that's had some bearing on my decision.
I've got several hobbies (apart from the zed) so certainly won't be bored :thumbsup:
Rob
Good luck with it all and enjoy..can certainly see why you are doing it now :thumbsup: ..Ill probably keep going until i drop dead :rofl:
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D
