Planning on going off for a few years next year and see what happens. We will both be 37. Rent from my flat + interest on savings + return on other investments.

I've never liked working - I've been wanting (and semi-planning) escape of one sort or another since my very first job...

If I could find a way of making a living that I enjoy then it'd be different, but being tied to a fast-changing technical job I can't even have time off and go back, so it'd have to be something different...
