Reply | Retiring . Who’s think about it?
at 18:55 18 Mar 2024
For what its worth .
I ran my own business for over 40 yrs ,and like other posters worrying about having enough money to live on was the driving factor on keeping going ,then for the first time i contracted Pnemonia ,and it was a real tough couple of months to be honest .
I was 64 yrs old and had chance to weigh up all my options ,and decided that enough was enough ,so called it a day .
The worry about having enough money never materialised ,not wealthy by any means ,but enough to pay our bills and for a nice holiday every year.
I visit a gym 3 times a week and enjoy my fishing ,a cup of coffee with my better half is also high on the agenda.
Three of fairly close friends ,all older than me,all running their own business ,all sucumbed to the grim reaper within a couple of months of their retirement ,and i thought bugger that ! the reaper will have to drag me screaming and kicking if he comes for me ,i plan to keep active ,enjoy life and make the most of our time on this blue orb that we call home |

Reply | Best time to book flights for Florida in advance?
at 11:06 25 Jan 2020
Are you taking children ? or is it adults only ,if kids are included ,then i agree with most of the posters in buying as far in advance as possible
If its adults ,we ALWAYS leave it till last minute ,and we have never had an issue in getting seats ,as long as you are flexible by a couple of days either way
Last year ,late Aug ,2 adults from Bristol into Sanford £760 inc seat reservation and full luggage ,the year before ,Gatwick was actually £780 for 2 .
We use TUI ,Norwegian Air ,or who ever comes in with the best price .
One thing that we always do is book direct with the Airline ,always had the best price ,and if you do use a third party booking site ,and something goes wrong ,its not the airline you deal with ,and the customer service at various booking sites ,are in general non existent.
By last minute i would say 14 days or less from departure date ,and dont worry about accommodation there are thousands and thousands of hotel rooms ,villas ,condos etc ,which by the way we never pay the asking price for ,as its last minute ,many are happy to do "special pricing " to get a booking
Hope this is of some help |
