If it is anything like my job was,

I wish you a speedy and happy retirement. I didn't have much choice. I kept getting injured (signs of old age) and didn't want to become a liability to anyone, especially my partner.
Best of luck and wisdom in your decision.

. Good luck brother!

I've been discussing the pros and cons with Steve on Skype for a while now and currently the biggest pro is I'm only 56 and feel the younger I am the longer I hope I can enjoy it. On the other hand, the con is the fact the wife doesn't have the pension provision I have and will therefore probably work on...now that can easily become a bone of contention so the compromise will be me taking over what we call over here 'househusband duties', only time will tell if that arrangement works out.

But I am a bit more actve now, I do one situp a day. I sit up in bed around 8 AM, look at the alarm clock, realize I don't have to be anywhere or doing anything, then I lay back down!

I'm slowly getting back in shape, for what, I have no clue.

Cheers Eddie.

Your welcome to it mate...to much resentment in the workplace when others find out your already in receipt of a pension and working.

Rgr that....retired from LEO work at 50 IIRC (seems like a lifetime ago). When you start thinking of the scars as trophies tis definitely time to step back and give the youngsters a turn.

My state pension isn't due till I reach 66 years of age, I should imagine yours will be a little higher

STEED · 08-10-13, 04:40 AM

Best of luck, Jim! Does this mean we'll see your 100,000th post by September?

Don't come to Merkelstan then. Our retirement age got lifted to 67 and the greatest thing: your pension gets taxed - again. Pretty smart move by our glorious leaders: tax the income, deduct the pension contribution, later when you'll receive it: pay up again!

Good for you Jim.

Now you can spend more time with the wife......

Catfish · 08-10-13, 04:45 PM

Jim, best of luck indeed

I retired from fire department 2 years ago. It is a younger man's job.
Congratulations on your second or real retirement. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
