And if at 65 you find relaxing is what you want to do, then by all means go for it. I feel "retirement" isn't about no longer working, it's about no longer doing what you have to do and doing what you want to do instead. People that have no reason to get up out of bed each morning other than to turn on the TV don't last very long.

And after 45 years hard graft what I want to do is sit on a beach in a costal result and appreciate all the work I have put in to get there
I see what you mean but it all has to end sometime. There's no point working your bollocks off all your life to never be able to appreciate it
I'm closing on 30 now (in 2 years) and I feel now like this ceiling of 30 or under makes me an old man! I would like to start a start-up but in that breath I need to launch now!
Although I do not believe that 30 is too old, or 40 or 50 for that matter but I would seriously be calming it down on my 65th birthday, I hope to have made it by then and relaxing.
