re: Retired folks, how long did you work

I sold my tech company at 58 and retired, this coincided perfectly with the crash of '08, I sat around for a bit, got real bored, decided to open another tech company. I had to wait a bit until mu non-compete was over.

Now 73, still consulting, I do 90% of my work sitting in my recliner. I fire a client if they get to be a pain, but bill out enough every month to keep me in excess cash. I broke my neck in a fall last year, so that had limited my mobility, my driving days are about to end.

Stress free, wherever you find it is the key, people think I'm ten years younger than I am. I love my work, but if you don't, get away from the stress ASAP.
