Thanks very much @Shaz 

Today worked out quite well.

On retirement, are you intending to retire or have you already retired? I could briefly share my experiences of both, if you feel that may be helpful. There are possibly other SANE members who could be interested.

Research on depression in retirement varies. Findings at one extreme are that retirement reduces the risk of depression by about 20% whereas at the other extreme the risk of depression was found to increase by about 40% in medium and longer-term retirees.

As an aside, there are quite a few financial planners on the web who refer to wellbeing in retirement, but nothing structured that I've seen.
