Looking at how to approach retirement

Welcome to The Retirement Newsletter by me, Nick.

So, what’s this all about?

Well, I am rapidly approaching an early retirement and I thought I would share my thoughts, problems and solutions along the way. It’s time to move on to new things.

At the time of writing (June 2021), I am just over 2 years from retirement - actually, let’s be exact on this - I am 135 weeks from my planned retirement date.

And, before you ask, I will be retiring earlier, but not as early as I had hoped or wanted.

A bit about me

For the past 30+ years, I have worked as a scientist and a university teacher. I have also been a geek — that is, I am into computing and computers.

What will I be covering here?

To be honest - I have no idea! If I had to guess:

• Financials - no doubt I will be covering some things on pensions - problem and pitfalls - and what is not working

• Health - hopefully, not too much on this - but you never know!

• Planning - why retire? Planning for the future? Future proofing

• Random stuff - there is always some random stuff out there…

So, sign up now and see where this goes.

In the meantime, tell your friends!
