Wanted to say Hello! Enjoy reading all the posts for the last few years and decided to intro my self . I'm a type A small business owner that hit the over 50 crowd with a great stay at home MOM and a pre teen. I have worked since I was 16. The company I purchased from the previous owner after working 15 plus and 15 now as the owner . My issue is not the amount I saved but finding a buyer that will let me FIRE. Every offer is me working for another 3 years for wages that I make in a year as the owner. The company is broken into three corporations that could be split into a asset sale but I would take a hit on the taxes for my stock .I can't let anyone down that has worked for me. I do the 60 plus hours 110% all the time.
I realized as another year ticked away in my 50 s last week at a friends funeral. I never used a sick day in 30 years and average 5-6 days a year vacation. And when i'm on vacation I still answer calls or do business. Its time to FIRE but how do you walk away when the business owns you?
