[QUOTE="OETKB, post: 15939822, member: 187145"] [USER=132046]@BrunotheBoxer[/USER] I was self employed and in my mid 50's when I left my career, or it left me, or some combination of the two. Like you, I was in a position to do it, but I have hated it. Let me tell you, retirement is highly overrated. My friends still work, my wife is younger and still works for the family benefits. I manage some commercial real estate for the family, but I hate it. From 1979 till today, the two different things I did for living pretty much allowed me to come and go as I pleased. Make or take phone calls. Run errands. Take care of family business whenever I needed to. Anything I have looked at in retirement would own me while I was "on the clock", or would require my presence on days that I might prefer to have something else planned. I have simply been unwilling to give up the freedom I had for 39 years. I don't need the money bad enough, and the downsides have too far outweighed the upsides. Edit: What I have enjoyed is spending more time with the shooting sports since I was involved with that anyway. I help run matches, design stages during the week for the weekend, go to the range an extra day during the week. It gives me something to think about and look forward to when I get up Monday morning. You might think about being more involved with fitness, maybe a personal trainer? Something you like doing anyway. [/QUOTE]
