Funny thing is you take more care of yourself when you're old. When I was young you took daft risks. I smoked and had lots of horrible jobs, like steel erecting. I remember sawing asbestos with no mask ffs. You dont care when you're young. Every day is precious when you get old. I still get a real bang out of life. Why would you want to kill me Goly? To save a few bob? You forget we oldies paid stamps and tax. I paid tax when I was 15 and I'm still paying it 60 years later. People should be retired according to how well their body or mind is coping with work. Lots of blokes who have had heavy physical jobs should be retired at 60. Like they do in more civilised countries. Great stuff, but I think it's really a post in response to relatively short retirement age that is only getting shorter. It's not as though we are any healthier, the reality is although more people might be reaching old age, a large portion of that is with poor health, is that really living? Wouldn't you sooner retire in the prime of your life and enjoy retirement closer to your peak? Of course it would never work as every individual is different, some men at 70 are fitter than people 20 years younger, but, there has to be a cut off, it would be impossible to assess people individually.

Goly 894 Posted just now Author Report Share Posted just now I seriously can't understand some folk. Would rather work to 67 and take their chances to enjoy 5-10 years of retirement before they turn in to geriatrics. Retiring at 40 and having a good 30 years retirement whilst near their peak, no-brainer for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
