Stavross 15,203 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Good luck to you sir, life is too short to work til you drop, no point being the richest man in the graveyard I’m in my mid 40’s now and would happily retire now, keep running my shoot and potter around for a bit of pocket money, my missus earns enough to easily support us both, but my happiness is no concern of hers ( lol ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs sent me this ,few miles from us..her words was 'get a machine,and dig a fishing lake' Always been my dream and dont want to piss on your dreams mate but you would probably need at least double the cost of the land and even then the authorities would do everything they can to put obstacles in your way. Better off finding a pond/lake already dug, keep a eye out for Farmers looking to sale off existing ones on their land anything established and already run as a business goes for a premium. That land must also be near Cefn Mably lakes did a weekend in one of their lodges a few months back cracking place fished from a lodge with hot tub 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,085 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I retired 20 years ago, aged 51. I think the secret to retirement is to keep busy with something you enjoy. Ive got the dogs, two allotments with hens, ducks, quail and a few game fowl, I like to grow veggies, it’s almost a full time job, but I enjoy it. I just thought one day “ kids are gone, house is paid for, bit money in the bank, keep my travel benefits with the airline, why work until I’m too old to enjoy my retirement ?” I wanted to retire at 50, but was asked to stay on for a year, which in retrospect was a good thing, it gave me time to be sure I was doing the right thing. Enjoy your retirement, mate ! Cheers. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
