    It's never too early too retire. Ideally, as soon as you graduate.

    1. You dream of having a lovely period property in the countryside.

    2. Escape to the Country is not crap daytime TV, it's aspirational.

    3. The youth of today scare and confuse you.

    It wasn't like that when you were at school, six years ago.

    4. You have a Pinterest board consisting of ideas for how to decorate your house.

    5. You really enjoy antiquing.

    You also actively research antiques, so that you can be knowledgeable about all the cool stuff that will fill your lovely countryside period property.

    7. Going out is not much of a consideration for the weekend, either.

    8. You are passionate about crafts.

    9. You have considered/gone on a cruise holiday.

    10. You have an annual membership to English Heritage, National Trust or any museum.

    11. You want to skip the ~new~ part of all relationships and just move onto the married/friends for 30 years part.

    12. You're not working for the weekend so much as working to eventually adopt a dog.

    13. You're really into gardening.

    14. Beekeeping is also something you would consider.

    15. You'd like at least several hours per day to prepare elaborate meals.

    16. You really enjoy Radio 4.

    17. In short, you would much rather be crafting.
