That was my original plan as well, but my wife's hobby of spending on our 7 grandkids , fancy holidays and seemingly permanently ongoing house improvements put paid to that.
Could have retired at 60 , but instead reduced my hours to 30 a week, but now thinking of just retiring in July when I am 63. Only trouble is now the wife is now talking about moving house , she wants to either move back up to somewhere near Largs where I was born or near Lyme Regis in Dorset.
I just want peace and quiet to mess around with old bikes, I have a 1971 YDS7 sat in boxes in the loft that is my first retirement project.
