been following this with interest. i could of retired last year (54 and 9 months) but just not ready.
fortunate that i work for the australian defence force (navy) and we have an excellent superannuation scheme.
my daughter and husband and their 2 young children live in perth, which is a 5 hour flight west. they are looking at moving back.
once they do, that will be the time. would love to be a fulltime grandparent.
