Finally sold business after 31 years and retired. YA!!

[Northstar T]

I've been trying to make it happen for a year or two now, and my screams of insanity were finally answered! after 31 years I've walked out the door as the business owner for the last time. it's been a long road. lots of water has passed under the bridge since 1981. no complaints mind you, as it treated me fairly well, but it was definitely time to get away, and BOY does it feel good to get what was becoming a weight on my shoulders OFF.
I've heard it said that the two happiest days in a mans life are the day he starts his own business and the day he sells it.
A lady friend of mine sent me this hilarious clip recently, and I know many of you can relate as well as I can to it. enjoy!

Congratulations. I have been trying to do the same thing for 2 years as well.

All I know is that if you start your own business, you only have to work half the time....and you can choose your own 12 hours.

I wish I was close to retirement. I have about 30 years to go. Congrats and enjoy your new-found free time!

I reckon my retirement will kick in about a minute after "911, what is your emergency?"
