I woke up one morning in Pakistan with my ears still ringing from a car bomb that had gone off a couple of days before and after 40 years in many of the most dangerous places on the planet, I thought enough is enough .I was 60 years old and that was 23 years ago, I’ve not regretted my decision , actually I wish I had gone earlier and because some extra perks not given anymore , I have something that keeps me above inflation , jumping my pension into 6 figures , I’m lucky that I survived all those years ,I’m even luckier that I’ve lived the 23 years of retirement and have lived them well .
