was this suppose to be in the Test dummies Post?
I’ll be turning 65 in December and I’m still enjoying working on the truck. I had visions to expand to 3-4 trucks but at 2 I decided to not grow anymore. I now run one full time with a tech and have a great back up if needed. This was my retirement venture in the beginning after losing a ton of money in the markets after 9/11. My retirement date was extended due to my divorce 1.5 years ago when I lost another pretty good sum of money. However, I realized a few things when she was gone. Because of a friendship that the x had formed with our largest pm company I lost that acct shortly after the divorced was announced. Then I decided to tell the PM for The Turns that I couldn’t hold my schedule for 2 weeks to wait on them to decide. I had been wanting to stop the turns for 3-4 years and am so glad that is behind me. Covid took its toll with our restaurant division going from 32 restaurants a month to ZERO for about a year. Now we’re back to about 25 a month and we normally just do one a night unless I want to take an additional night off and no more Sunday nights! We usually do 3-5 homes per day and I always use a helper which has been with me 5 years. I do a day solo occasionally when he needs a day off but one day is good enough for me. Funny thing is I’m debt free since the divorce and have paid off my loan from the family to buy her out in 1 year and 2 months.

damn…so you dumped your stocks when the market corrected?
DOW was around 10k in 2001 and the drop was severe but very short lived
dont EVER EVER EVER sell during a correction…. You are selling your equities cheap to the Wall Street sharks
if you held on, you’d have been up a minimum of 300%

There is a lesson in there for people during the next correction….
happened to many people during the 2008-2009 housing collapse as well
mistakes don’t have to be repeated

I glad you got the ship righted Billy. Stay well, this is hard on an old man, huh Lee. Honestly, there’s a big difference between 65 and 70.
