Default Re: Early Retirement?

My wife keeps trying to push me up the next step, but to do so would make me "management" and I'm not sure I could sell my soul.... I've told her I'm just going to find a cheaper wife when I retire...after all you are supposed to downsize about then!

I've avoided pension schemes as I dont believe the income tax savings although on the face of it will be that great in the future... I am self employed so these are different circumstances and not suited to all.

I believe the chances of government changing the laws and rules govening any moneyI put into the fund (eg taxing pensions) is very likely so I'm not convinced pension schemes are the way to go... or a safe option for savings. More so now after the big hole the country has in the finanaces.

I've gone the property route as an alternative form of pension planning. Fingures crossed this is a safer option.
