It's a comfortable feeling that, isn't it? Knowing you can leave at any time. I've had that since last March when we paid the mortgage off. If Nikki kept working we'd be reasonably comfortable, but if she retired too things would be a little tight for a few years until the state pension kicked in, with very little headroom for cost of living impacts, and not much spare for travelling or entertainments. So we don't really want to go there yet, but we *could*. Meanwhile the plan is to keep slogging away, and SALTING away this year as part of the prep. And wait to get pissed off that one significant time ;0)

Yes it is. Every year from after this one is another 2% added to the pension
