Carry on doing what you're doing but take up art again.

I think retirement is a very odd concept that many cannot afford.

Do more of what you want to do.

I had two PIA clients last year and it makes me more inclined to do what I want to do for a change rather than spend my life doing stupid things for unpleasant people.

Two years ago I lost a client to cancer. He was about my age and the most wonderful man as a client and a friend. So do things you want to do, if you can.

I will retire when I can't work, but I won't work like I have done in the past.

Ironically I considered becoming a mailman last year, just to get a modest income, get fitter and remove the hassles of bad clients and have time to do what I want as well. Covid-19 put paid to that.

A lot of people deteriorate badly after retirement because they don't know what to do with themselves and they lose a sense of purpose. Don't be like that.

Ask this guy about retirement..
