That's my BIL's plan. He's told his weans if he's fit and strong enough,he will travel as much as he's able and spend as much as he can. They are more than happy with that.Potter wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 3:36 am I reckon I'd be happy with 89, IME once you're in your late 80's then your quality of life is starting to slide and unless you're one of those exceptions and still running around like a spring chicken then you're going to be limited as to what you can do. Plus I've budgeted for the majority of my money running out in my late 80's and being on a standard UK pension - if it exists by then.
My Da was fit,active,still gardening and driving up until he was 90. After that his quality of life rapidly diminished and the last three and a bit years were hard for him. Hard to watch as well.
Numbers don't mean much when quality of life plummets.
