Approaching 50 and enjoying my second career. Beard grown, no bull**** tolerated, (another) final salary pension, lots of holidays, freedom to retire any time from now until I'm 70, although in reality shortly after my mortgage is paid off and my sons' (10 & 7 yrs old) uni' fees are covered.
Of my 1990 - 2012 time inside on balance I enjoyed about 3/4, but I don't miss much about it any more.
