44 and going strong, but my body is starting to talk back. I am pretty sure I can endure into my 50's , but not ceritan how long after that. At some point in the future, I am going to have to either close the shop, or hire a couple guys and move into the office. I have sort of been mapping out a plan in my head for my older years , not sure where time will take me. Selling off my 930 and paying off the shop would sure make life easier down the road.
I worked with a few older guys into their 50's before. They were the ones always telling me to slow down, that my back, knees, and hands will be done by my 40's if I keep up this pace, you know what , they were right.
They still did alright, sort of moved at their own pace, but seemed to get the job done just almost as quick as the young whipper snappers. Made a lot less mistakes, and did not seem to get as upset about stuff.
A few guys I knew moved into management, or service advisor positions, and a few , just got the hell out of the whole business, and re-invented themselves, one became a trucker, another went to work for a municipality doing maintenance work and snow plowing and stuff.
I still like to work on cars, but the biz has soured me a little. It's get old, always being under the gun every day. People need their cars.
New cars are harder to work on, but they also pay better, if you are well equipped, and can diagnose and repair them.
