Well, it's New Years Eve 2016 and I have been retired now for exactly one year.

If anyone want's some instruction in doing nothing just ask me. I have had adequate experience.

Good on you for continuing to look after yourself whilst living a life of leisure Colin!

Meanwhile, a return to work after the Festive Season is just around the corner for many of us.

I'm planning to retire in the next 30-35 years, do you have any advice for me?

My strategy was to win 'Super Lotto' - put 10% of my salary into it every pay for 35 years and it finally came up trumps at 55yo. ;)

At the rate the government is raising the retirement age you will probably not be able to retire till you are 90!

So the tax man can get their grimy hands all over it. Who knows what the cash grab is going to be in 30-35 years. At least make sure you are dept free and own your home so you can reverse mortgage and leave the kids nothing :wink:

You can retire any time you like - all the govt regs do is specify when you can access super funds or get an age pension. Aim to make yourself financially independent of a salary/wage and pick your own retirement date.

Hop onto Netflix and stream a season or so of "Weeds". It shows some awesome career options. :mrgreen:
