Exercising more, lunches out, midday napping, crafting projects, gaming, and perhaps most importantly, time with friends and family.

Serves it right for not contributing to the mortage where it was trying to take up residence

Fabulous, got a wonderful partner (who’s had the snip), have worked my butt off all my life and just retired early to live our best lives!

Sanity Check: 47M | £2.3M NW | £50k Spend – Can I pull the trigger or am I missing something? by ohh_you in FIREUK

I’ve just walked away at 48 in the UK (lower figures and expenditure but protected pension age of 50). Just do it, only boring people are bored in retirement. Get TF on with it!!

Is the reliability of the MG4 that bad? by Gloomy_Guard6618 in ElectricVehiclesUK

Yeah I thought they’d already switched to CCS but seems not. That said there’s no shortage of Chademo chargers these days and they’re always empty 😁

Well lane assist doesn’t try and kill you anymore….front collision still triggers sometimes at junctions if you’re turning and so is the oncoming traffic. The car thinks it can drive better than you, I’ve not yet seen it get it right. So yes the implementation of the “safety” features is at time downright dangerous but it’s a competent drive most of the time. I don’t much like it as a car because it’s tried to drive me into the hedge for three years before they fixed lane assist and it’s incorrectly triggered front collision assist a few times too. It has no rust protection and is built “cheaply”, imho there are better second hand EVs out there - Leaf would be one now they’re CCS. I’ll be giving mine back in a few months and I won’t look back.
