[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 527309, member: 6969"] I think most on this thread will have worked all their life. I had 2 spells of "unemployment" One from leaving school at 16 to starting my apprenticeship the September of that year. The apprenticeship was already agreed so I took one last "school summer holiday" before starting the apprenticeship, there seemed no point looking for a temporary job. Then at age 40 we moved to the Highlands, coinciding with being made redundant from my last job, and I was unemployed for about 2 months, which ended when the Job Centre offered me a grant to start self employment, which is what i have done for the last 19 years. Mortgage long since paid off, other assets and private pensions so plan to retire early next year. I feel I have earned it. I won't be claiming any benefits, just living off what I have put away for that. [/QUOTE]
