On the flip side - retiring early without enough money would drive me mad - so earn as much as you can for as long as you enjoy it, then retire with a nice amount to do other stuff without worrying about keeping your house warm in the senior years. Look at TV - tried to retire couldn’t, Tradex, similar. I would love to find someone to take the business on and I pop in once a month for a “board meeting” - my pension and keeps me active mentally.

And you would be worrying about it in the back of your mind. That's why i just buy a couple. Park on the drive and they sell when they sell. Very little overheads. At the same it keeps me a little busy. Catch a train pick up a motor. Drop it off at a garage get it serviced do the MOT. Then the phone can ring and in the meantime i am enjoying my life.
