Still working every day in the van with a helper running dual wands on just about every job. We had a huge stretch job last week and made it look like new - 2600 square foot basement.
I am still enjoying doing this at age 76.

I noticed my personal productivity started falling off at 60
But I’m still going at 63
Honestly, it’ll be a sad day for me when I can no longer swing a wand.

You and Jack Zerkie need to get together to show us youngsters how it's done. I think Jack is your age or close.

Financially I could quit tomorrow as everything we have, our house, our separate 1200 square foot shop, our rental property, all of our vehicles and equipment, etc. are paid for, but I thoroughly enjoy getting in that van each morning we are working and going out to clean or stretch. Physically I am slowing down a bit, but mentally I am a go.
Jack is a couple of years older than I am and he is still out there working!

Im 47. I have no real timeline. Lost 40 lbs this year. That’s made me feel great. I enjoy this job. I enjoy working solo. I know at some point I’ll need to plan on employees. Maybe….
I resemble that remark.35, you get past 40 and you're an old fart. Beyond that you're an old dusty fart!
Also 76 & still love what I do.
Guess I'll retire when:
I no longer love what I can do
or
I can no longer do what I love.
