I have only 10 more years to be with my daughter, 13 more years with my older son.
It won't come back again, this 10 to 15 years of being with my children.
I could do that, finding a 12 hrs a day job,72K a year, but for what? Not much money actually goes to my coffer, most goes to IRS, to medicare, ss tax. I use my prime years to finance the elders that can't work.
No one is paying you for nothing, everyone is hiring people that can work to his/her maximum.
It is pure capitalism.
I'm not willing to be buried by work, and do not need to.
