Not pawning, no. If anything, selling. They are an asset and, in some cases, an appreciating asset. The wise man cuts his suit according to his cloth.

No, I haven't.You've changed, man.
I'm only messsing, of course. This is eminently sensible.No, I haven't.
However, would it not hurt a little to part with them? I know how you treasure them.
I speak only theoretically. There will be lots of decisions and crunching of numbers to do; I'm just being pragmatic about it really. The reality is, if I do actually go through with getting off the treadmill at 55ish, I won't have the same income I have now, but I don't yet know what that might mean exactly.
You could always become a cat sitter. We're off to Paris next week and have engaged one. Basically, he's a old retired chap who toddles about feeding cats, watering plants and turning lights on and off. It struck me as very sensible.
I am a bit worried about what happens if the cvnt drops dead while people are away on holiday, though. Will our cats simply go un-fed?
The cats will eat hi. Easy.
I'm more and more interested in the B&B idea. 2 en suite bedrooms should easily return you £25k a year. That's enough to spend January in Asia and have something left over for christmas. And I can offer Eggs Benedict.
I do just worry that your innate misanthropy will be a problem, but I can see the attraction. You'll just have to get your head back into business mode.
