Ok guys, I lied . . . I'm not really retiring, that was click bait, but it's close, oh so close!
This week coming I'm cutting my work week down to 3 working days (8 hours a day) and having 4 day weekends!!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaa!!!!
I turning 65 in early July and I reckon it's time to have some more days off work and get some stuff done that I've been wanting to do for years.
Here in NZ we qualify for the National Superannuation scheme which pays $1000 per fortnight, BUT I am able to carry on working and earning WITHOUT it affecting the Superannuation, I just have to pay 17% tax on it as 'secondary tax'.
It means that i can work 3 day weeks AND STILL EARN MORE than my old 5 day weeks!
So my plan is to carry on for a year or two and save some serious savings.
Aaaahh retirement looms...
About bloody time too!
