One thing's for sure.... If Daz a had a good pension to look forward to, and a 4-500k house paid off for when he hit 60, he'd be on here saying how much he's looking forward to retirement, more time for hobbies, 5 star holidays etc  and how he couldn't imagine having to work 'till you drop!🤣🤣

Dont have a pension and dont think i`ll bother getting one

Just retire at what age you choose and pay someone else to clean your work, theres your pension for the rest of your life.

I guess Mrs Daz will be sat at home all day wondering why she ever bothered?
Baked beans in the bath for one.
Daz will still be taking selfies of his wrinkly body at 81 down the gym after work.

This is one of the options I’ll be considering.
I also have two residential rental properties which will give me an income……that said if things keep going the way they are I might sell these as the Scottish government is making being a landlord less and less appealing.

My missus house will be paid off within 2 years.🙂

I have plenty of money behind me which is growing every month in various accounts and fixed rate bonds...

I've just turned 51 so im still fairly young

I only work part time now so plenty of time for my hobbies

I couldn't give a fook about pensions.... ;D

Best occupation in Scotland is bennefits, it's the only sector that's had a 'in line with inflation' pay rise!! Wee Krankie offered nurses 7% and gave the work shy 0ver 10%!!😲

Unless your suffering from a real bad illness or crippled no one should be able to get benefits without having to do some sort of work IMO.....as for food banks they should shut them all down!some of them get free food then order a takeaway the next day!absolutely scum bags!heroin addicts round here spend all their benefits on smack and go and get their free food! ::)roll >:(

Were you considered scum when you did drugs and were an alcoholic then got given a council flat?
Bit rich isn’t it?

You've been with your missus years, why don't you move in now and put what you pay as rent, gas, council tax and electric towards her mortgage?

Thats gotta be somewhere approaching 800 a month isnt it?

I am 58 and have no idea how much longer I will work. I do have pension/investments/paid off mortgage and it is nice to have the option of being able to retire (probably even now) when I feel the time is right.

Your subsidised council flat is a benefit Daz, what crippling illness are you suffering from?

I know lots of peeps who don’t see the benefits they’re on as a privelige. Sit their moaning and griping about the way of the world, meanwhile not lifting a finger to either better themselves or help out in any way.

Lots of peeps don’t know the meaning of the word responsible. It’s all ‘me me me’ and ‘take take take’.

Yes but I'm 41 and still able bodied and its easy to give in. At 60 I may be a bit more motivated to find someone and perhaps more patient and tolerant.

I think you'd be daft to give up a council flat and move in with a bird.  If she kicks you out you are homeless and into the ridiculous housing market.


In Dazs position I'd keep it forever even if I just used it as storage.

Or sub let it illegally to one of the local crack heads  :D

The retirement age for some on here will be at least 68 and that is bound to rise to 70 plus at the rate things are going.

Trouble with physical jobs and aging is it takes it out of us as we age no matter how fit we think we are, we slow down and work smarter.

Who wants to work forever, what's the point? Scale down and taking more time to do the things you want is more appealing, it's what I do now as I prefer a happy life balance, everything in moderation.

I’m sick to death of her and her policies Winpro. She plays a numbers game to appeal to the masses. Between the wife and I we pay over 3k a year more on PAYE than those south of the border, and for what, free prescriptions and free student fees!
There’s worse,  I would like to sell one of my rental properties, guess what, I’m not allowed to because of the cost of living crisis. Yes that’s right, I’m not allowed to sell a house that belongs to me😡
