I don't want to, it's too much stress. Semi-retirement plan goes into effect in 6ish years
Find a meaningless remote job and travel the country in an RV.  Previous Message
I’ve been in my new job for about 6 months and I love it. We’re a small scrappy distillery…so I get to wear a bunch of hats and have a lot more influence than I did at my last job.
That said, the physical part is way more demanding than I expected. I was arrogant and this is much harder. I’m adapting but have been thinking, if this works…can I do this til I’m 60 or so?
I would imagine you find a way to make it work given the alternative…but it’s daunting.
