I've seen all sorts of things cleaners do when they reach the end of their cleaning career. Just like other walks of life, its more of a matter of what their money management skills were throughout their lives than what the status of the business itself that established where they were.

More than a few "retired" to working as a facilities manager for a school, hospital, or nursing home. They got paid a decent wage, had a nice benefit package, and didn't have to work hard, or at all.

More than a few wished they had made that move many years earlier, which is sad.

I don't want to sell my business, I'm working on a goal to merge 2 carpet cleaning businesses into one right now, so that's not on my mind. Just an example, that's all
I don't see this being a partnership. Were not combining our businesses. I'm just paying him commission for every customer he sends to me
Can you be more descriptive on the "ended badly"?

I've been swapping jobs back and forth with this guy for the past several years.
-He sends me all his customers who need air duct cleaning, and sends me work when his employee isn't doing what a good employee should do...do the job.
-I send him all my customers who need pressure washing or window cleaning
That's been our agreement for several years now, and I've send him more customers on things like construction cleanup, stripping and waxing, and general house cleaning as well. I'm not worried about him stealing any of my customers, and I hope he feels the same way about me.

So I made him that offer on him dropping out of carpet cleaning and I just pay him commission on it.
I just got a call from that person who I was wanting to work with on this idea, and he is officially dropping carpet cleaning as one of his services and is going to send all his customers to me who need it. He asked me to help him sell his truck mount, so I put it on the classifieds on here. I guess this goal is starting to take effect

Retirement is not that hard to fund. For you younger men with working wives, live on only one income and invest the other for ten years.

Done.

For you others (or if you cannot live on one income), invest at least 20% of your income. You will retire wealthy.

I wish someone had explained this to me thirty years ago.

Actuall 30 years ago, I was a senior in College doing an internship for a Financial Advisor/ Insurance Group

The charts about early investing in and IRA were transformational. I applied the principles immediately and then the SEPIRA became available to me

If I told you what's its grown into you'd have to double up your Nitro
