Obviously a lovely long weekend off, but back to work on Tuesday. At 60 I feel I should be retired but I’ve got a mortgage until I’m 65. I could downsize but I really don’t want to as I love my home.
No real point to this thread but just interested if anyone else is in similar circumstances?

Still working at 60 with a mortgage (thanks to my ex husband) hopefully will be paid off in 5 years and that's when I hope to finish although with interest rates as they are who knows!

Still working at 66 and no end in sight. Thankfully I (mostly) love my job, although I could've done without defrosting the car at 8am this morning! I have no occupational pension, investments or anything of worth and I live in rented accommodation. I would be very bored if I didn't work and wouldn't have the funds to fill the time with hobbies anyway, if that makes sense.

Still working but no mortgage.
DH and I get bored.
We have two businesses.

Neither of us really know how to fill spare time properly. [Neither of us are big on hobbies]. If we did, I think things would be different.

I have thought several times about starting a thread about what hobbies there are, but presume we would have come across things we would be interested in, by our age.
