    Young, Free and Work Longer

    Whats the saying, work will kill you, well it seems the government is helping the younger generation do just that.

    I really enjoyed my job and would take it upon myself to work some very long hours any time.

    I think when you love what you do it's so easy to put in any effort and make sacrifices.

    Sometimes too many sacrifices

    Piece of NONSENSE! ... 60's an old enough age for ANYONE to work until, in my opinion!

    Remember also those of us now retired started working younger, in my case at 15, I then worked for 49 years until I became unemployed at 64.
    That year from age 64 until I drew my pensions I was better off financially than my last year in work!

    Me ... I started work at "sweet sixteen" - and a half - as an insurance clerk.

    I started at fifteen on the Monday following the Friday I left school, I also enjoyed my working years and worked many many more hours than I was paid, but during my HGV years I did get a brand new truck every August the 1st and when on holiday it was parked up no one used it. Good days

    I started at 16 too.

    Unlike my siblings, I hated school.
