Not lucky i.m.o. . . I simply planned to retire @ 55 when I was 18 & never had L.A. employment, but did invest in my future with pensions :)
What I meant was that having a pension and paying in as much as you can does not guarantee an early retirement. The LA pension comment was a generalisation of any final salary type pension where luck does come into it regarding the scheme offered.
I'm my case I had to be 24 before I could join and it and all subsequent schemes have never been final salary.
I did plan to retire at 60 but with no inflation it won't happen. It's the same old chestnut that 15% inflation would have been great for the pension but not the mortgage.
I am yet to meet someone who retired early from an average pay job that their only income was from an investment pension.

It seems to have come as a shock to many that very little in life is free - and that's a shame for as we all know free just means that someone else pays.

if you cannot afford the fee or are not willing to pay - do something else. We do.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, 1 year ticket including a boat trip to see the subs, £23 for us old pensioners, took me all day, excellent value for money.
Bovington Tank Museum £13 another all day attraction.
Not everywhere's a rip off.

Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Flambards all in Cornwall and all well worth MISSING!

See the Sun rise from anywhere on the south coast, Rame Head Pendennis Point, the Lizard, take a slow meander, stop for lunch somewhere nice, then head for the north coast Gwithian, Bude, Hartland Point St Just/Cape Cornwall and watch it sink below the Horizen

Absolutely Magic and mostly free (no! not your lunch!)

Yes paying on the door is always going to be the most expensive...
Judicious use of vouchers, tokens or memberships usually mean I can find reasonably priced attractions...
National Coal Mining Museum Underground Tour - free unless you 'donate' £3 & keep the token.
Bowes Museum, £2.50 Tesco Voucher - brilliant.
Craghouse - free thanks to National Trust membership (Bermuda branch :whistle:).
Lots of tickets are also valid for multiple visits over 12 months...
One just has to be a bit canny

Scroll down all the way to the bottom of the membership options to choose either the UK Individual @ $22.50 (about £16.75 at today's fx rate) or $37.50 (£28) for family membership.
The only thing is that membership runs 12 months from 1st Oct.
In the 8 months I've had my card, no-one has batted an eyelid when I've shown it (y).

I will join again.i tried with the poor pensioner approach but the only members of the national trust are pensioners so I did'nt have much chance.Alan

It's a bit like politics the only way they

free is a relative concept anyway.:sleep::sleep:etc
