Being financially independent

Hursty

Old-Dutch It did sound extreme, but totally believable in the world we live in!

Our kids will be out by 18, if I managed to live in Manchester on £6.50 an hour and still go clubbing, get smashed every weekend then so can they (they probably won’t get smashed though!)

Hursty LOL at you thinking you will have any influence on that call. Mrs Hursty will have there til the little cunts are 30

Old-Dutch

My kids are 7 and 4 so a long way to go…..

Have paid into my NHS pension since the day I started and also got added years back when I could.

It’s about 15% of my pay now. But worth it. Planning on going at 55. If not earlier. I won’t be larging it. Could even do an extra couple of days a month. But I’ll be set for life then.

benson if I got made redundant tomorrow, I can retire. Otherwise it’s ⅔ more years.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire what really annoys her is that my 8 year old is hell bent on joining the marines age 16, I only mentioned it as a career path a couple of times 😂

I was chatting to the Mrs about this point earlier in the week and both of us agreed that we wanted to be living away from our parents age 18+, so much more fun living in a house share away from home

Funky have you finally out-smarter these shorters and retired yet, DF?

-si- We completed a product transfer in jan, fixed for 5 years at 1.42%. My missus still works in banking and we had a staff rate since buying our house. The fucking staff rate was more than double the rate we moved to. So much for staff benefits.

Hursty, there are rates around 2.5% for 90% ltv mortgages, not just the premium sub 60% ltv folks.

And some people say this board isn’t rock n roll!

Lol. Imagine the absolutely mental bants during an afters at hanners house, with us totally crazy mad men in full flight.

Hursty the fuckers won’t leave!

Anyone buying the dip? lol.

Airbnb @ 120, I’d put in a cheeky $2000 if I had access.

The best thing one can do is go travelling and enjoy all of the fruits of life as ETC would say.

Made me the man I am today.

Hursty

Smallman1 is ETC doing well?

Smallman1

I hope so, he occasionally posts on here.

A lol for Si!

Go on my son!

I can’t even post in the right thread for fuck sake. I might need to book in for remedial summer bants school at this rate.

-si-

How are the lads getting on with the amc and gamestop shares these days?

Smallman1

Did someone say bants school?!

-si-

Mortgages paid off and considering retirement aged 45 or so?

Likely too busy hoovering up enormous piles of boutros whilst being tea bagged by supermodels, influencers and female ‘techno’ ‘DJs’ from Eastern Europe
