My original job at Telstra has already disappeared and I'm just warming a seat (doing a secondment) until Feb next year when my retrenchment will kick in. At the age of (soon to be) 50, do I really want to keep going round the corporate merry go round and the answer is that I don't. I've had a plan for a while that when I hit 60 I was going to retire to a semi rural area somewhere a bit warmer than Melbourne (probably Qld). Anyway, the upcoming retrenchment has made me think that perhaps the time is right to make the move next year. I can sell my place in Melbourne, buy a very nice property in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and pocket about $350k difference. As for work, I'd probably just look to do some consulting in Brisbane (I'm a Risk Manager). I can't afford to fully retire yet but I don't need to earn the kind of money I make now.
