How great is retirement? My opinion so far...

I've now been retired for 6 whole days and so far I'm loving it.

I've mastered the art of making amazing porridge, and am on my way to figuring out roast potatoes.  I have been on several walks on the common near my flat and have done some preparatory cleaning.

I randomly Googled 'retirement' and found this page.  I am going to attempt to answer the questions that it poses:

1) Can I maintain my lifestyle when I retire?  

No, but that is irrelevant as I'm going to completely change my lifestyle

2) Am I going to run out of Money? When?

More than likely, yes.  I'm going to run out of money.  When?  In a couple of years or so.

3) When can I retire?

I have already retired, were you not paying attention?

4) What happens if I need Long Term Care?

Obviously, hoping that this won't be a problem for some time yet, but if I do need any care, then Nic and my sister will have to come and look after me.  I'm sure they are very excited about this prospect.

5) What happens if the market changes or my income needs change?

Nic will probably have to get a job.  If it comes down to it, I suppose I could get another job.

6) What happens to my family if I die prematurely?

Well, they will be very sad.

...On second thoughts, this questionnaire probably wasn't meant for someone in my position.

Lucky charms - even this freakish cereal is not as lucky as me!

I am a very lucky person in pretty much every aspect in my life.  

If my life was a film I would be quite concerned as it is round about now that I would be killed off as my life is going too well.

I would also probably be played by Cameron Dias.
