Phil,
A belated Welcome.
'No longer able to work', if you are comfortable not working and can manage then, to hell with it.

I took early retirement because of ill health and am feeling better than I have for years and enjoying life to the full, even with the limitations that cancer puts on it.

As you can still 'join' folks in a pint that is the main thing. :drink:
Enjoy yourself (as my mum used to say) you are a long time dead.

dave (an expat Yorky mesen)  ;)

Yes, Hi Phil, and keep smiling! I retired early too (though not for health reasons), and it's been the most liberating time of my life.

Hi from me too Phil.

I'm semi-retired after taking a good deal with pension at 50 from BT. Unfortunately, I still need to earn some money to support two daughters (not for much longer though.) But I still manage to enjoy a rather relaxed lifestyle.

Hi Phil.  Looks like this place is turning out to be a real silver surfer retirement home! (with apologies to the younger members :baby:  ).  I, too, retired in my early fifties to enjoy life more and it has been great - just about the best career move I've made.  I have the good fortune to live in Lancashire but I've no particular skills with computers - just use one the same way I've always used my car; with no particular understanding of the details under the bonnet.  I do find forums like this very informative though and have picked up quite a lot from reading here.
