When do we retire 40,50,60,70? The longer we leave it the shorter time we have left to enjoy ourselves and reap the rewards of the hard work we've done here to be able to afford to up sticks.

How much do we need? ........... This is my major question as I like my creature comforts (take that as I'm not from Yorkshire )

Then we get onto questions like healthcare etc

Thanks Simon ,

Lots of questions there too. Well, to answer a few from me

Saving very hard but still enjoying life here

A very very large family but they all know my plans,

As soon as I think I have enough cash but no later then the age of 60, no matter what

Healthcare. Well a mine field for many, but for me, anything other then major things I shall just have to have enough to pay for things. Surely with the sun on my face, warmth through my bones and the right food and love I may be more healthy, but who knows. But it will not stop me living the dream
