PS My retirement survey will be open for just a few more days. I’m interested in hearing from you whether you’ve already retired, or if retirement is still decades away. A massive thank you to those who have already responded. If you haven’t completed it yet (it will take less than 5 minutes), you can find it here. Thank you!
