How's that website idea you had coming along? I reckon it could work.

Is there any alternative to working for the rest of my life?

Both my parents are dead now, so I'm putting myself up for adoption and only multi millionaires need apply.

You must be very young at heart, i had you down as being late 20's.
When you got the quote did it default to a 25 year period or were you asked if you wanted it for 22 years (in your case)? The last company I used set it to 20 years.
I wouldn't ! Harder now the regulations have tightened up as well.....surprising how many do though.

I just took out a 30 year mortgage for an investment property and I'm 55.
I share your view about enjoying life whilst you can. My best friend from university earned well but channeled most of his cash into his future. He wanted to ensure he had a nice later life but it came at the cost of not having a lot of spare cash in his 20s and early 30s. Sadly he died in his mid-30s. This made me totally rethink my strategy. It's a cliche but life is too short.
You go girl.
I worked hard in my early years and invested, and now I'm able to enjoy it and have enough money for the rest of my life, as long as I die by Christmas.
I don't remember it ever coming up in conversation.
They thought you were under 40.

For what it's worth, I just got a new 20-year mortgage. I'm 53. The subject of age never came up.
Just me then
