Start investing early in cash plans - not additional pension plans because you may find you have a sum of money that you need but can't touch.
Try to arrange that your policies etc mature at different times - ages 55, 60 are good ages to receive a large chunk of cash to offset the fact that you may no longer have a wage coming in.
If you have got it right you may be able to retire early and enjoy life - after all, no one wants to work forever.
Stay reasonably fit - and always look for new challenges and things to do.

Excellent - I didn't start saving seriously until I was about 17 - doing things like this allowed me to think about early retirement a few years early - had I not been offered a very easy job which was lots of fun, I would have retired 3 years ago. As it is, I'm finishing in a couple of days time, still a couple of years early, and intend enjoying myself with my motorbike.
