Paul.

Totally agree, I'm 61 yo now and work full time since I was 23 yo.
It was fun in the beginning but now I feel that I could use my remaining time on earth doing things that I couldn't do so far. Things that I really need to do to feel well and have nothing to do with my professional duties.
Unfortunately in my case I will have to work until I have 66 yo plus 4 months before I can apply for my retirement plan. That's the Portuguse law. You can apply for full money retirement if you are at least at 61yo and have at least 46 years of professional work. Else wait until you are 66 plus 4 months . I feel they hope we pay our monthly taxes during all our life and then we die so they don't have to give you back a single cent.

Jose, pay us a visit here in Italy and I bet you'll feel better with your portuguese restrictions. :(
