Actually started thinking about when I'll "retire" yesterday.

I don't think I want to stop writing about tech (or other things) completely. But I think in about 5 years, I should significantly reduce the amount I commit to writing.

Jebus.

@ianRobinson I hope you get to retire on your terms and it’s extremely fulfilling!

@fahrni I want to write until I can't any more! I get a state pension and a personal pension at 67, in 2031. It will enable me to cut what I need to earn by at least 50% each month.

@ianRobinson I’ve been thinking about retirement for a few years now, but I won’t get to retire. I hope I’ll at least be able to throttle back a bit.

My dream would be to retire at the “usual” time of 65 but I suspect I won’t be able to until at least 70, and possibly never.

When I do retire I hope to continue to write software I want to write.

I also suspect I’ll work until I no long can or I’ll drop dead behind a keyboard. 😃

@fahrni That's basically my goal as well, but with writing rather than development.
