I’m 59 in a couple of weeks and I don’t think I’ll ever get to retire if I’m honest.
There is a strange feeling globally......I stopped thinking long term quite some time a go....I lost money back in the crash 0f 1987...I was investing then as I was thinking long term.....But over the years I have noticed certain changes that do make me reconsider my long term strategy about life.....I have no pension and have no real savings as such...I live at home with my ailing mother as the house I bought on the Isle of Wight collapsed in price shortly after buying in the early 90's. Got out a decade later with break even....
We are living through an extraordinary time of change.....as far as I am concerned all bets are off regarding the future.....not sure how much of it is left...so money is not something I am bothered about....Lucky me...
