What is hacking you off today?

[MK Shrimper]

Why? He's facing the best tennis player of our lifetime (possibly ever) and getting given a lesson. Murray will never achieve as much as he should whilst Djokovic is still playing.

Apart from an Olympic Gold medal and Winning Wimbledon, which ain't too bad.

Not to mention the US Open.

Murray fell apart as per usual - missed shots he usually makes with his eyes closed. So frustrating.

Thanks for telling me what I know he has won. My point was that he would've achieved far more had Djokovic not been around. But then again he would probably just choke against Nadal (if he isn't hiding from the drugs testers), Feds, etc.

First day back at work after a fantastic week on holiday with the family. I'm really not looking forward to it.

Roll on retirement.

Amen mate. I've been here 10 minutes and I'm depressed. :sad:

I feel the same after every weekend with the family. Roll on retirement, only problem is I'm 22, there's a long long way to go!

I'm 46. I hope to retire at 55. 60 at the latest.

We'll see!

Sad thing is that it'll come round and sneak up you without you noticing and you're suddenly middle aged, not understanding youth culture, and wishing it was 1994 (or in your case, 2016) all over again. :sad:

I hope all works out as planned for you, all I know is there's always a surprise awaiting you round the corner.

It's bad enough already, everyday I'm becoming my dad more and more, I've got 2 kids and I seemed to have picked up his sayings, I think I may already be middle aged

I've just realised we're out for dinner with friends Saturday night.

Listen, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being middle aged. Accept it and enjoy. The real arse-ache happens from 60 onwards. Brain still engages with wonderful thoughts but body is a complete git and ignores instructions or pretends its not well. One of the few saving graces of 60 is a SUFC Seniors Season card for £250. Mind you the view is still **** from the West regardless of age.

Are we? I'll have to get a new outfit and get my hair done you know.

Ha! My younger brother, (not RobNoxious but the Investment Banker), always said he could retire at 50.He'll be 64 in August and is still working.:smiles:

All my, and my wife's, pensions are set to mature on our 60th birthdays (she's 6 weeks older than me). At the moment all is going to plan. The only fly in the ointment is that because my wife and I had kids late, they'll be off to University when we hit 55-57 (they're 2 academic years apart), so I may have to continue working to my retirement age to pay for them. Other than that, so far so good.

However, the phrase "best laid plans" springs to mind...

Provided they stop at BA level then you should just make it. It gets a bit trickier when an MA and then Doctorate follows. Then there are gap years, deferrals etc. The list of extended parental financial pain just goes on and on. You will be eligible for a bus pass at 60 though.

Similar position here - my pension matures on my 60th and I've just taken out a mortgage that will end when I'm 64 (unless I pay if off quicker, which I'm hoping to do). Screw working after 60, I want to be living the life of an ex-pat in the sun!

I learned a lesson from my father-in-law. He retired at 55. At around 73 he was diagnosed with Motor Neurones and was dead by 77. Had he have retired at 70 he wouldn't have had any real retirement.

As for retiring to the sun. I don't actually think I could do that, but I do intend to spend a lot of time travelling, and flying myself would be even better...

I say that, but depends on where MK Jnr is in her life, and any possible grandkids that my stepson might have. And of course in we Brexit WW3 may have reduced us all to ashes......

Tell me about it I am 30 in a weeks time! Can't believe how quickly life passes by.
