I also worked with children, but I worked with children with special needs, I loved the job but my mum died last year after a stroke that left her bedbound 3 years previously, so with the sale of her house and a few savings I've decided to retire early, (I'm only 47), and I'm loving it, still can't find time to do all the things I want to, and don't regret it for a minute :laugh:

Now that is early retirement age fair play but do you not get bored or think will the money last till you older??

I have my band my dogs and my horses and cars, and so far I'm loving it, I really don't know how I managed to do everything when I worked, I run a jam night on a friday night and gig at the weekend, I was getting shattered working all week and then up til 4am at the weekends so it allows me to do what I love doing rather than working for a living!!!!
As for the money, we have a financial advisor from our bank and he says we will be ok, so that's good enough for me, just can't go too daft, no ferrarris or expensive holidays every year, but that's ok with me, we live a simple life!!!!
The simple life is the best life. I have less than 2 years to go and I'm gonna give it up and spend my days doing **** all except guitar practice and watching the crops growing on the farm.
