Retirement

[Barman]

I retired ten years ago - I love every single day of it.... 

I wonder how I ever found time to do stuff when I was werking.... 

Of course there are downsides - like when a couple of mongs turn up, drink all yer booze and smash your house up - but apart from that...

Technically, although only turned 65 last July, I've been retired for 12 years now ...... Frankly I dunno how I ever found time to go to work.
What do I do? Well for a start I never go shopping and medication prevents me from drinking.
I manage to fill my days doing all the things I want to do and none of the things I can't be arsed with anymore.

Oh and I seem to have spend an enormous amount of time in hospitals.

That's all well and good, ESPECIALLY if you have things to occupy you that you thouroughly enjoy and are content with.
Trouble with me is most ofl the things i want to do ...travel to desolate parts mainly... are just too damned expensive, and me body problee is too creaky now anyway.

Absolutely NOWT around here enthralls me.
Town full of mongulated 12 fingered interbred retards whose main thrill of the week is a trip to McShittles, followd by a glass fight in the local shit'ouse and a jolly old 130 decibel 'sing song' on the way home down our road at 03:30am whilst lobbing their half empty ale glasses at your front room window or car.

I think I retired last year.  Well I walked out of a shite job umpteen commuting miles away (great people though) and haven't really looked for work since

It helps that Mrs K did same thing a year earlier.  Much as I like having the time to do stuff, I reckon if someone is in a worthwhile job where they make a difference (or they really need the money) then keep working.  There's a buzz from doing work well that someone appreciates.

[serious]I used to be lucky enough to have The. best. Job. In. The. Whole. World. 

I made loadsamunny, had world-wide travel, new cars, an aeroplane and could do (almost) anything I wanted... 

Yet being retired and living on meagre resources is infinitely better.... 

And I'm constantly reminded that we are only here once - and it might not be for as long as we think...  [/serious]

Nail, bang, head.

I luv me job generally speaking, and most of the time, but the job doesn't seem to luv me anymore.

Sign of the times I guess. Everyone's tightening their belts, and I'm now seen as a 'luxury' seemingly (reading between the lines of the feedback) rather than a cure for them saving money.

Just spoken to MM about it, and she complains about her life being dull, with no money, but as I said to her, she's got her whole life in front of her, with the prospects of a good job some time in the future too.

  Only works if she doesn't walk out 

Fortunately she left me with my money and pension so I was still able to retire early. I was getting seriously stressed out and then the heart op made me realise that life's too short to be working in job I no longer enjoyed.

Best thing I ever did.
