I have read nearly all the retirement threads i can find but cant find anyone that has retired with school age kids. Our initial plan was to work until June 2019 when our youngest has finished her Alevels. Even though its not long (we are 53 now) it seems so long. Has anyone retired with kids still at school? And if so did you regret it? We wont be free to do what we want so it may be better just to stick with it for a few years. I have always worked, but at the moment in a part time job that doesnt pay that much. I do get all the school holidays off so not full time at all. My husband works hard and earns good money. Now if i retired ahead of hubby it would give me a chance to work out what i like to do hobby wise etc. No hobbies at the moment at all. Bit nervous i would end up wearing trackies all day and watch tv :-(.
I think retirement as it gets nearer seems to take for ever to get there and i dont want to wish my life away. But working those extra years would give quite a bit extra money.
