If you have investments, let’s treat those as liquid cash for the sake of argument. Otherwise, the assumption is that you’re not selling property or possessions, but continuing to live as you do now.

    Without cutting back at all, even my frivolous spending and holidays, about six months.

    If i cut holidays and frivolous stuff, about twelve months.

    If i cut back essentials, sold some stuff, eighteen to twenty four months. If on top i downsized the house, probably five years.

    If i could make it to seven years then my private pension would kick in and I can retire. If the government hasn’t already moved the age you can draw a private pension i could be retired already.
