    My mortgage finish at 52 so pay more into it and try get it half a mil by time I'm 60.
    I did

    though before i was 40 i didnt think about retirement ( foolish i guess )

    I guess as you hit 40, you think about the future, by that time, its too late

    not sure i fancy retirement anyways, i would only get bored though in theory, will be mortgage free in 5 years and i could put a few quid away a month then, or i could just drink nice coffee and squeeze another disney holiday in

    You can't keep getting up those ladders when you're 70

    I dont normally drink coffee but went away for the weekend and had Lavazza in my room. Most enjoyable. Might even get one for Mrs Hartley as a token of goodwill.

    Lazy ****

    I dunno, they were pods of some kind, what was amazing was how quick the cold water becomes a hot cup of coffee.

    I cashed in my superannuation when I was 20 as I didn't think I would live this long!

    The future's grim for all of us 'cos when cash is abolished, and it will, to be replaced with virtual money then the whole of humanity's wealth will be subject to the whims of those who already control so many aspects of our lives.

    On a brighter note, those who toe the line by slogging for a pittance until the day they drop won't have their bank account savings reset to nil.

    When the next financial crash hits you can't expect to lose a lot of your private pension funds as well and tough titties I'm afraid, ain't nobody going to bailout them toxic assets out.

    Our best hope is in euthanasia booth down the Hays where the toilets are.

    I bought land, like Mark Twain said "invest in land, as they ain't making any more of it". I should be able to go fully self-sufficient on it, and die a lonely death of malnutrition or dysentery covered in shit and undiscovered for years.

    fair play, you have sold that idea well

    you can even grow coffee in a greenhouse in the UK, though if you stock up of Lidl's instant, you should be sorted
