20hrs a week or less.
I spent a lot of years travelling so I haven't been at it day in and day out since I was 16 - but it's been long enough!
My body is starting to hurt too and I'm getting grumpier by the day 
The only way out is a lottery win! | |||

"I’m on countdown for mortgage and pension, only trouble is by the time it comes along I’ll be probably be too fucked to enjoy it... "We are living the dream. I will have to work until I drop. I get bored quickly off work anyway, but I would like a holiday! | |||

"I'm 50. Been working non stop since 15 in building trade. I feel fucked. Sickening fact mortgage won't be payed off until 67. So no rest until death! Everything hurts " I feel for you OP. While we are living longer should we really have to work longer? Get the kids to do it for us instead of them staying in playing in computer games! Sweeping statement in know but exaggerating for effect. | |||

"Its simple most of you have been sucked into the system of spending way more than you need to and living beyond your means, a drastic life style change is needed but its beyond the will power of most to achieve, yes its far easier to sit back and carry on.You don't need to drink ten pints of lager on a night out nor spend two or three quid on a cup of coffee or a sandwich, you can boil a kettle and take a flask and a tea bag with you make your own sandwich for a few pence at home. Sit down and write a list of exactly what you are spending there will be hundreds of pounds you can save and do it now, save a few quid over the next few weeks then when the brexit shit brings stock markets to an all time low buy a stock and shares ISA with what you have saved, in ten years time that little nest egg will be your saviour." Are you Martin Lewis? | |||

"I'm 50. Been working non stop since 15 in building trade. I feel fucked. Sickening fact mortgage won't be payed off until 67. So no rest until death! Everything hurts " Can you retrain to do something less physical? | |||

"Can you downsize to help clear the mortgage or overpay every month to reduce the term ? " I was just about to type that! We downsized and are now mortgage free. We have less space but more freedom. | |||
"Can you downsize to help clear the mortgage or overpay every month to reduce the term ? " Money Saving Expert website has a mortgage overpayment calculator. Even just an extra £30 a month can reduce the mortgage length and interest payments. | |||

I know it saves a fortune being frugal - and I used to live like it to save for travel. But now I'm trapped here I like sitting in coffee shops and eating in restaurants and buying myself stuff I want ( within reason ) I find taking flasks of coffee and home made sandwiches out with me depressing. I work to have the stuff I want. I do my bit to economise, I have a bicycle instead of a car, I live in cheapish accomodation and I don't spend on ridiculous phone / sky packages etc .. But life is too short to hoard it for when you're too old to live your life! | |||

But I'm kinda hoping for a early retirement. I have a few plans haha.. Or my bitcoins go to the moon

"Try to over pay your mortgage And be mortgage free earlier, or downsize! Think about quality of life, I’d imagine being in the building trade is fairly tough work, will you be physically able to do that at 60 plus ?" Im Struggling now, worn out knees,back, shoulder,hands the list goes on. Paying the price for working outside in all weathers, kneeling on concrete floors, carrying 50kg bags of concrete, drilling, slicing, chopping,hammering and squishing various body parts. Needless to say I am also paying the price for youthful bravado. But I appreciate your taking time to reply xx | |||
