[QUOTE="Dioltach, post: 6644167, member: 21843"] My mother went back to university in her 50s, got a Master's degree and a research position, and a few years later got her PhD. Now she spends her time writing articles and giving lectures at conferences -- living the dream that she couldn't live before because she was raising children -- and editing academic papers for an increasingly wide circle of clients. My dad spends his time gardening and brushing up his photography skills. In between they drive around buying the best ingredients they can, which my mother then turns into some truly wonderful lunches and dinners. Not a bad life. To me, retirement is still too far away to think about seriously. I put a load of cash into a couple of funds every month, and I hope that when the time comes it will be enough. I'll have a state pension (which will definitely not be enough to live on), but I'm earning quite a lot now so I'm planning ahead. But I'm self-employed, so I can keep working past retirement age, at least part-time. Hopefully the wife and I will move somewhere warmer and sunnier than Northwest Europe; perhaps back to the Caribbean, or maybe Spain. Then build my dream kitchen and spend my time there. [/QUOTE]
