Retirement

[captainkurtz]

I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to retire.  The reasons why are a bit complex.  I run a family property investment and lettings business.  The process of splitting it up between the 3 owners will be stressful and expensive but it will happen at some point in the next decade.  Once that happens, I guess my workload will be reduced but I'll still be managing tenants and tenancies - I simply couldn't pass that on to a letting agency to manage..because they're all useless.

I am conscious that my dear wife is 4.5 years older than me and she deserves to be able to enjoy life a little more and not have a husband who can't holiday, for example in the summer because of tenancy changeovers and is constantly preoccupied with work issues.  That weighs heavily on my mind because, frankly, she deserves much better.
