Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Moral of the story, don't work until retirement age....up and sell what you can earlier and live somewhere cheaper, warmer and friendlier

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Im sure my mates family and friends would rather have him work until his retirement, rather than dying.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Another bank holiday weekend spent recovering instead of riding.
However it's been cloudy and rainy the entire time so not missing quite as much.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
If you can afford it, retire early. I worked for 6 months after I was 65 and 2 months later was diagnosed with prostate cancer. You've only got one life, so live it.

The positive is that if they died suddenly, I assume there was not an extended period of suffering; I've seen that with some of my relatives and I'd swap a lot for that not to happen. Doesn't mean it's easy to deal with tho. |

like other folk have said you never know what's round the corner, so work to live, not live to work. if you can get out early, do it, I cant see how my younger colleague's are going to work until they're 67. They certainly won't be doing what they're doing now. Me I'm luckier, at least i can see the finish on the horizon.
