Work to live - sounds like you don't need to.

Live to work - sounds like you hate it.

I retired last year (57) and since then I have loved it.

Hobbies are important hence split my time between gardening, DIY (just finished the downstairs cloakroom and it looks great partly because I was able to take my time), playing golf (and meeting lots of new people), enjoying doing Porsche stuff and finally providing consultancy to a children's charity.

The best bit of all is Sunday nights knowing I don't have to go to work on Monday.

I would do it, and move to Wiltshire Portugal is lovely, but do you really want to spend the rest of your life there?
