What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
We wouldlike to retire aged 61 or 62 latest.
We would like a spend of 70k net per year from 62 to 70, reducing to 60k per year to 80 and 50k to 90, holding onto a rainy day fund of about 50k.
Does this sound achievable based on our figures or are we falling way short?
Is there anything we should alter now to make our plan more achievable?

Maximise both of your pension contributions to the 35% tax relief limit? And make sure that your pensions are invested in low charges mainly/fully equity funds?

In my opinion you should certainly consider investing this to get better returns.
