This is really nice news. I've been working my arse off trying to get out of an ever-chasing increase in costs. So it feels like every pay rise means I'm just back to where I was two years ago.

I feel like my income now is good enough to finally allow some savings once debts and other things are chipped away, and I was scared that now I finally have nostrils above water, I'd get slammed back down for "earning too much". At that point, I'd just accept that my end of life years will be miserable and a total burden to tax payers because I never got the chance to breathe and prepare for life and health after work.

I need a break because I'm running out of critical time that's normally used to prepare for senior years. I've already accepted working past retirement is a likely offsetethod for this.
