What do you really want to do if you quit / retire? Do you want to sell bikes to a bunch of posers, tire kickers, wannabees? I'm four older than you and self employed trying to wind down but worked three Saturdays in December to keep up. I love working and feeling alive and part of the working world.
If I went to work for HD or Wally I would have a nervous break down or go postal. I can't stand retail crap cheapskate, self centred #@&%*%$#^s. And I can make more in a day doing my thing than Home Depot would pay me in a week.
What skills / assets / attitudes do you have to work with?
What kind of player are you? Would you want to make $2500, fifty cents at a time, selling burgers or the occasional $2500 commission on a big machine? Base hits or a home run?
Pardon the occupational pun but try thinking outside the box.

Lol.The company had to deal with the SIU back in 2010 after an employee was involved in a bunch of drug related charges.He and a couple of others were found with prescrips from other employees.Google Ryan Acron.He's still alive believe it or not.He was shot 5 times by an officer.
Not sure what i want to do.No mortgage or credit debt.Just need a job to keep busy and provide "pin" money for trackdays and some travel.I admit i am spoiled.Worked 14 years in a union shop for really good money till the 80's recession hit.The company i work for now was awesome till the brothers that owned it,sold it to a holding company that are trying to squeeze every penny out of it.Enough whining.What do you really want to do if you quit / retire?

I wouldn't mind selling bikes actually.I like yakking to people even if they are posers.My goal in life is not to have a nobel prize or statue in my honour.As long as someone says "he was a good person" when i leave,that's good enough for me.

Nah..I wish.
I always got pushed into engineering because of my math marks and the potential to make money. I mean, yeah, the money is ok and the job is easy (I'm a fan of blue-collar workers!), but I don't want to do it forever. If I can get to the point where I can make a lot less money and enjoy life more, I'll do that. Kelowna or Golden..something..ski/mtb/mechanic. I'm good with that.
Thanks for all the input here guys.If nothing else,i am getting some inspiration to at least do some searching.I feel like such a whiner.But i have had it really easy for too long.
