In my 30s my single driving goal was to pay off my mortgage and be debt free (I came to home ownership late). Thanks to this industry, I got there at 42. I’m sure as shit not going back to the treadmill, for what? So I am taking my young family on trips and experiences I never had growing up (visiting other countries, camping, hiking, etc.), and working on the health I neglected in my 30s. Also being more assertive at work and not sacrificing like I used to. Because of this, I’m probably not going to have a wealthy retirement, but I have a lot of peace of mind knowing we could keep the family afloat working minimum wage jobs, with the house paid off and no debts.
