"Retired"....lovely concept....until reality intrudes....*L* ;)
Spouse is just on the verge of hiring my 'replacement'.
We're self-employed with an expanding business.
He may be able to 'pick up' 30% of 'what I do'....meaning what I Really Do, overall.
Let's call it....semi-retired.....15+ years in the current situation, with the additional 40+ of the 'activities' and experience will be a tall order....
And what gets done 'in the margins' I call 'fire control', a hallmark of small>medium businesses I've been submerged in for those 40...
@limomangus ....I turn 73 at the backside of June.....most go 'wha...?!' at that.... ;)
I don't think 'retire' and I will live well with each other...😏
I've no real envy of that state....since I've always been pre-occupied beyond rationality, I'd go more bonkers than is currently considered...
A 'change of focus' would be more apt in mho of my pending SOTSituation....
(Besides....full retirement would likely drive me more into these forums, which ought to make some shudder....*LOL*....)
*evil L*, J
