One of my besties was a dentist with his own practice. Retired early, bought a house in the Eden Valley and restored it himself. Wife carried on running a big lawyers firm and commuted. No kids. Retired now. He's just sold his 1946 Rover and LWB Landrover. Now has a Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Audi TT convertible, SWB Land Rover for the caravan, Sprinter which he made into a very professional motorhome. Has a horse and dogs and has built a double garage with stable out of local stone.
Can't do all that on a state pension !
He collapsed and died last year in the kitchen. Wife rand 2 retired GP living on the other side of the river and they rushed round and brought him back. I don't know if it was used but he has a defibrillator in a steel box on the barn wall by the road as a first respondner. Lucky man, it was too foggy for the helicopter and the ambulance is about 12 miles away in narrow lanes !
