Re: What AGE are you planning or indeed DID retire... and if pos.. how.. ? [Re: Captainslarty]

Hello. My name is Maria and I am 40 years old but my students tell me I look 35 years old so that I don't give them any homework.
Anyway, come March 2009, and it cannot come soon enough, I shall retire myself from a successful career of being FILTH - Failed in London, Tried Honshu' and intend to sail my cement boat into the port side of a grp boat called Vivid, the boat belonging to the Maltese skank, Kak, who recently shagged my boyfriend, and after I've done that well, I think a little sojourn in the South Pacific might go down swell.
Like I said, I will consider myself retired at the age of 40 years and 11 months old.
Now I don't have much. I own my boat. I have two flats fully-paid for; one in Turkey and one in South Africa. Enough income comes in from renting out the SA one to cover levies etc.
I have 20k in sterling.
30k US once this slow year is over.
I will live off that and then when the money runs out will sell a flat. If I manage to live longer than my mother and grandmother did - both died in their early 40's[eek] - and I get to the point where I have no money left, both flats have been sold, and I get sick[I have no health insurance or pension], I will just off myself or commit a crime in a country that has good prison food.
So that's how I'm managing to retire at such a young age having never been an executive of a multi-national corporation or a thrice-over divorcee.

Can't wait for the adventure to begin.

Ouch. Thrice? I had to read that four or five times. It's deep. A whole lot more than is written. Or am I reading more there than I should be?

I haven't been divorced thrice, never married actually, but I bet some women have made a bunch of dosh from divorce and so can afford to set sail, too.

AAAhhhh! I seeeee. Yes, they probably have. I didn't though. I just buy everyone houses etc. What I cannot understand is why I get to keep all the kids as well. Please excuse my blinding ignorance. The way your post was written just raised more questions in my mind than it answered. The thrice applies to me I'm afraid. One did run off to Cuba or Jamaica with a Canadian yachtsmen, but his boat sank, and she had to come back. (He quietly sniggers).
