I am still sorta working for a living, I own 1/2 the business. Just my business partner and myself on the "payroll" or draws from the company. We had a great finish to 2019, and have large cash reserves.

We have many projects lined up for August, and we will be pretty busy. I do the books, and process the imagery right at home. That just does not keep me really busy, so work is almost like a part time hobby, that is crazy profitable.

Today my wife rousted us up a little earlier to make a run to Sam's for a new supply of fruit. I got home, and changed one of the air bags on my El Camino that had split. It is 12:30 local time and I have yet to do any work for the business. I am downloading a backup of all of our email from the email service provider. I do that one per week, so technically I am working, but clicking a button to download a file is not real tedious when I am sitting at the computer anyway. The boss never yells at me except to go to mow his yard, or fix his old high mileage cars. Occasionally the bosses wife makes me work in her gardens. I get even with the boss by drinking his beer, and sleeping with his wife.

Personally I have no debts, and money in the bank. I regularly forget what day it is and most days feel like another Saturday. The company owes about 1/2 the market value on our Cessna 182T bank loan. We don't want to stuff all the cash into it, and not be liquid so we keep making payments.

So to me, it feels like being retired, and I just have a income from the business and I can wait to start drawing Social Security that I have paid into since I was 16.
