By the time i get anywhere near that age we'll probably be lucky to get one at all. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

Yeah, they're threatening to do that to people here too, raising the age again(from 67 to 70 for Me) and taking away for those under 55 who've paid in(Voucher instead of Medicare, more expensive), crazy, just crazy...

I can understand their reasoning for it, we're all living longer, why shouldn't we work longer. But i can also understand how it must annoy people getting close to that age. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

I think Blurf has it - there is very little sense in planning to retire at a given age as many things can get in the way of such plans, health is one of those things, I know octogenarians who are in far better physical and mental states than some of those in their thirtes I know. Is there something to be said for taking a mid life break, then going back to work? Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

I depends on different factors rob. When i retire with 67 i´ve worked for 45 years. Enough i´d imagine. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. ID: 1273640 · |

I’m with you; soon as I am better it’s back to school for me, then who knows. I hate sitting around, and the moment I am able too I am so out there. LSM and I have spoken at length about this and she agrees that as long as I don’t go overboard she will be on my side. ID: 1275890 · |

As Chris says, a living income (pension for clatity) gives a relaxing feeling when taking a second career or developing an SME business. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues
