Re: “So I will be pondering the question of when to say enough is enough. I am getting tired I believe of the driving but enjoy the thinking and making useful suggestions to solve problems.”My answer is that enough is never enough. When you stop growing, you die. It's that simple.

But enough of THAT? The long drives and maximizing your income? Absolutely. End it asap. The only purpose of income is to sustain your future lifestyle after all, and it sounds like you've attained that. Well done! Now it's time to move on from what you've been doing and to start (or continue) other things - things I'm sure you'll find are even more rewarding.

Now that I'm retired, I've never been busier. I expect that to continue, even as my efficiency declines with age. There are lots of cool (and a few not-so-cool) things to do... and I consider most to be hobbies, not work. They're what make life interesting.

as I continue (time stands still for no one) to age and get a little more "finer" in different ways, worse in several ways, I discover that I require more rest and often need a nap in the afternoons if I am home and not traveling the interstates hours away.

I also am not enjoying the traveling part long distances like I once did. It could be in part due to my deteriorating hip area from degenerative arthur itis or the restrictions placed on me due to my heart condition.

My older brother in law will soon be in heaven any hour now as he is in hospice. I will miss him as I always looked up to him and we have a lot of great memories of years gone by when we were still athletes and won several 16 team league mens class B softball titles together.

I will be the last of the brothers in law Dan having gone on to glory a few years ago.. Only my wife's little brother remains and he is about five years younger than us.

I don't need to go help and consult with other's problems financially so I am wondering inside when is it time to say let's stop.. I know miz micro has gotten accustomed to having an extra goodly amount of income in addition to our Social security and I have not touched any of our IRA accounts or cash savings accounts.

So I will be pondering the question of when to say enough is enough. I am getting tired I believe of the driving but enjoy the thinking and making useful suggestions to solve problems.
