Funny you should mentioned retirement Dan. I don't know your age, but I'm 37 - somewhere just shy of middle age. Neither young, nor old. But old enough to be seriously thinking about planning for retirement. Hence the buy-to-let purchase I mentioned. I've paid in to a personal pension for years, but it's under-performing and won't be enough to provide for me in retirement. So we're buying a house as an investment. May well revive the house blog at the same time http://jake.typepad.com/
