Not quite. I still pay National Insurance contributions, and in fact am already entitled to a full UK state pension (at age 66). I also pay into a private pension plan and have done so for years. I also built up my tax free savings in cash and stocks and shares (low cost index tracker). I can access the private pension and private savings whenever I want.
So the plan is I will continue to do this as long as it makes sense to do so.
My partner and I are actually considering complete early retirement (I'm 55 now) to Philippines next year - but that's another story.
