I was planning on retiring in Jan, but I decided to hang in for one more year. Whatever extra I can sock away, will help my retirement. I have had so much fun, I wasn't sure I would ever retire. But just like the real estate business, the restaurant business, the computer store business, the distribution business, and the other businesses I have loved - the fun ride is over.
Even though all the businesses I have owned, have been fun - they have also been stressful. I have lived a very stressful life and am paying for it with my health. I wish I knew then, what I know about stress today. I realize now - that most of it was unecessary... Regular exercise, yoga, meditation, getting rid of anger, there are just so many things out there to help you be more healthy, and successful - without the stress.
and with all that said.............. if the right opportunities come along, I may be working another 10 years. I love to work..............
