Catherine, I agree that your dream of living on 60,000 social security money, with 250,000 in the bank and no mortgage, is imminently reasonable. It is a solid plan. I also think the more you can relax about the work, the more creative you will become in figuring it out, either getting more clients or morphing the business into something else. You are extremely good at this and an excellent planner. Maybe things are slowing down so that you can have the energy and time to go in the new direction.
Thank you, Tybee, for the encouragement. I need it.
