Hi,
Life Situation: 52, male, happily married (26 years) two boys (one 24 working, one 21 a Junior at College), one dog (Lab) living in the suburbs of a major metropolitan city.
Have investable assets of around $5m plus house (@$1m). No debt. Last kid is a junior in college and should graduate 2019.
I started a company in 2003 and sold it in 2016. I got most of the money for the sale upfront. THe new owners are paying me a good salary until the end of 2019 with some extra incentive (around $400k) if the company performs well.
The trouble is that now I have sold the company my heart really is no longer in the work. I have transitioned day to day responsibility to a very competent CEO, the company is perfoming well and hitting all its targets and a feel a bit like an spare appendix (nice to have but not really needed).
So this is my question. Do I stick around until the end of 2019, fill the coffers some more, try to summon up enthusiam for the work or do I leave the money behind retire, rejunivate and find a new direction for my energy and efforts.
What would you do?
