All very good but there are plenty of us who can't afford to retire. Not everyone is in the same position.

Bailing out means leaving the team half way through a pub crawl.

Keep your will up to date?
It’s been a pet irritation of mine for a while now. How many farmers on here and Facebook etc, don’t know how to spell a bale of hay.!Baling.

I bailed out of farming for a career to go ranching for a hobby .
Does that count?
It has all the feelings of a Plan B - had my fill of being a 'human doing' .

Spend it now! Leave it in a trust. Let it to a deserving tenant. Income to charity/relis. That was my thoughts before I had a family.

There are solicitors, doctors and rock stars working into their sixties or later so not just farmers. My father once went to visit his 90 year old mother and met some of his schoolmates from 60 years earlier.
They wandered up to the paper shop, sat at the bowling green and discussed the latest stroke, heart attack or hip replacement. The same every day, just waiting to die he felt.
Always good to have something to plan for each day.
Messing about in a boat no different from a pleasant afternoon tossing out hay with views for miles.
However if you want to play golf and do stuff when it suits you then do it when you are fit enough. No point wishing you had travelled when in the care home

And airline pilots too in their 70's in Canada, Oz and NZ.
Interesting case in UK at present, a pilot is suing the CAA for revoking his UK airline pilot's licence just because he's 65.

Although I am a little late in life but following the general tenet of the thread to keep active in retirement is it possible to advise me how I can take up your former life ?

Thats easy, get an old camper and do all the musak festivals.
