Nobody wants to hear that a 40 year old is retiring, plus I want to be able to crawl back into a job if the wheels come off the bus. As such, DW has pretty much made me develop a cover story, namely that I am taking a sabbatical and then working in DW's business and finding something entrepreneurial myself. I might well earn a few bucks here and there if its not too much hassle, but mostly I hope to be retired.
The downside of a cover story (aside from the fact that it irks me to have to have one) is starting to become apparent. My mother has started to suggest business opportunities, including goofy franchises. I am waiting to see who else comes up with great things for me to do (three friends and colleagues have independently suggested that I start managing money). Sigh...
