  • My parents postman retired at something like 52 or 55 on a full state pension. I can't remember exactly now. But whatever it was it was less than one of their ages at the time.

    It's quite common for British pensioners in their 60s/70s to employ retired French public servants in their 50s as guardiens. You provide a little house on your property and a small stipend in return for light gardening / housekeeping / swimming pool duties. Works well for both parties.
