I understand your feeling; I sometimes have the same feeling, however, I catch myself and say, 'Why do you have that feeling?´, and in my own case, it comes down to a slight sadness that that's it, that my life as FILTH (Failed In London, Tried Honshu), as a common unqualified 'English teacher'...

It will be interesting to explore these forums more. Are the 'young dreamers' doing it now but expect to work in their later years, or have made it young and prefer being free to continuing with their careers? Time will tell as I navigate this site. I am interested in retirement away from the...

Good morning from Lakeside Guatemala. I retired myself in my late 30's, then went back to work for two years (long, stupid stories), then retired myself for life in 2012. I am on the cusp of turning 46 (ksjdflkjfakjf) and well, after perusing a few sites like this, albeit most forums about...
