Re: Bugger *that*
With you there. Self employment forced me to buy private pensions and I see no reason not to start collecting them early. Recent changes mean I now will get a state pension for paying NIC for so many decades but that will just be a bonus a dozen years or more after I retire.
Our parents all retired by 55 and they're heading for record ages for both families, instead of dying in their 60's. Our siblings are all planning to go early on their company pensions. They can try forcing us back to work but they can't starve us into it.
