Too old for this!

[Mr Brightside]

@ what age would you say that working in the van is difficult and production falls

I’m talking 3-4 jobs a day working full time

 

[Bob Savage]

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.

It’s different for everyone but I don’t think I want to be in the van past 55

 

[hogjowl]

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!

 

[hogjowl]

I wonder if he really thought you’d say no?

 

[Numero Uno]

I knew Bob was legend.
That first day him showing me his unit.
His Passion is seen immediately...
Proud to have met him .
Dam proud...

 

[sassyotto]

Dang it, I worked last weekend (cleaning carpet thank you) and will this weekend too. But, it don’t matter, every day’s Saturday!

 

[Papa John]

I feel like I have more energy now at 58 than when I was 50.

 

[Brian H]

[Trip Moses]

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.
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.

 

[Mr Brightside]

I’m wanting to figure out how much I can save and invest for long term
As long as the world is still around ya know

 

[hogjowl]
