66 in October - and got my first pension at the end of it ... and we could sell up and move to somewhere cheaper - but with a girl still at Uni (Reading) and one commuting into London, will probably stay working for at least a couple of years ... also enjoy it - mentally stimulating
Anyways - been fun as always - but off to see the eldest's new house in Buckinghamshire now ... so ... laters
You got lucky, I got moved into the 67 category, by a matter of a few months.
Like I saidit used to be because you still had a mortgage due to an expensive divorce .

Yeah I mean state pension. That money will be commandeered by the recently elected Gaza Independent Alliance government.
Personally I think the government have got all this pension age increase wrong, and I said at the time they are shooting themselves in the foot, and we are seeing the consequences of that now. Hence lower labour force and people living off their savings and investments, especially women, sticking two fingers up to the thieving politicians.
This will also have a knock on affect to the NHS and GP's for those that keep working, again we've seen the impact on hospitals and cost. I don't give a **** what anyone says, even if people are living until 80, don't mean they will be any fitter or more so healthier, me being a prime example, I must have cost the NHS a fortune, we have no control over fate and actual reality.
But it's ok because the government said we are living longer and that matters more than commonsense so **** them. Oh and don't forget in people's alternative plans mean they are paying less working tax, so a double whammy for ****ing people off. It's just become a toy for the politicians to play with, instead of being set in stone as a goal to work and aim for, all incentive removed.
It's ok for politicians to tell you to keep working while they put their feet up in the Lords, bunch of ****s.

yep i'm in the 67 category so years to go yet by which time my ESA (sickness benefit in actual words) will have decreased to nil since it goes down each year including the year it went up 10%
When they elect Suckys boys into Number 10 you'll be heading to the showers mate
Wouldn't worry yourself
it used to be because you still had a mortgage due to an expensive divorce .
It's that too - we bought the place in 2006 - mortgage 25 years... but the property was a two bedroom bungalow in a state of disrepair - its now a 3 bedroom (our ensuite) with extensions on the side for ours and one of the girls bedrooms, and a kitchen extended outwards (back) new bathroom and a utility room ... completely rewired and plumbed and with a whole new roof ... we moved in summer of 2007 (planning permission was a bastard) ...
... but now we've been here for 20 years and property prices in this part of Hertfordshire have gone ballistic...
So to answer your question - could sell and move... and retire ... but if the youngest decides to do her masters, will likely keep it going...
Just seen on GC that Morgan McSweeney has gone, so went and found this news article confirming that...

Don’t see it tbh. He’s still got a massive majority and it’s quite a niche issue no matter how much parts of the media and social media will blow it up. No one in Labour is smashing the door down to be next leader.
