I am now in the great position of not working(retired at 50).OH carried on working and we invested what we could(having spent 5 years funding our kids in uni).it is all now paying off .Neither of us work and we have a great life.Investments (not a lot)top up our pensions and we have a "pot" of money for when we need to change the car for example.It is a matter of trying to get the balance right because none of us know what the future holds.I have a friend who has recently finished treatment for breast cancer and now on a hugely expensive cruise.Good on her.WE don't save any more.We just spend!!And just hope it doesn't run out.!Now we live for today because who knows what is round the corner.
