I do feel like in my 40s I’ve thought about death a lot more than I used to. I hope by the 50’s that goes away.

I am sure it will, honestly I am looking forward to my state pension as I worry the goal posts will be moved again by the time I hit 67 and it will be nice to get given money for doing nothing for a change

Urgh, the state pension being moved is still so far away. I’m not even sure there’ll be a state pension by the time I reach then. Plus they keep moving the age of the private pension.

I was able to access a small pension at 50 those were the days but it was locked in that I could take it at 50, so I was able to leave work which I hated and take a free lance job which I love, well not love love but its only 7 hours a week

Nice!

I’ve put savings/investments by in various places some of which I can’t touch for a few more years by my own choice (so I can’t piss them up the wall).

Currently living off of other savings whilst I sort the next stage of my life. I defo won’t be going back to a job I hate. Just trying to work out what it is I want to do next. Feel like I should know but I really don’t.

Thats the thing isn't it I never really enjoyed any of the work I ever did, it was okay and got me by but I never ever knew what I wanted to be or work at and still dont, too late now...oh well
