I might be the only person that doesn't want to retire (as of today, when i get to that age it could be different) at 50. Me da retired at 55 from the guards and he was bored shitless after he made the garden look immaculate. He soon got other side jobs to keep him busy. I don't know if i want to end up like that. Maybe a less hours job or something. Even a new hobby can't take up all your days, every day until you're worm food. If you have no interests then working a boring job probably is the best use of your time.

Are you planning on living off the state pension when you reach the proper age. I do.

It's lifestyle maintenance more than anything else, particularly if you have no children.
But once you get beyond a certain age, you do have to think of the future, particularly with care and associated costs.
With so many single people in middle age, I forsee that there will be a significant rise in shared accommodation amongst people in their 60s and 70s very soon. Why spend your last years in your own?

I don't mean you specifically with this. It just sounds weird to me that people don't have a work related pension if they can afford it, or have good savings. It's not a judgement, it's just the way I was brought up. Me da joined the guards (cops) for the pension amongst other things. Me ma had a nurses pension, and got half of dad's when he passed. All that matters is that folks are happy, so more power to youse.

I suppose it's possible, but I can't see it becoming a 'thing', if you get me. Once you're used to living alone - as many old people will tell you - it's difficult to adjust to having someone else live with you. You might need the help they can offer, but I don't think it's welcomed by many.
