I class myself as "retired" but do two unpaid days a week as "sweat equity" for a startup company.
One year in, we have a turnover well into 8 figures, and I just did seven days in a row including right through the weekend tackling an urgent job.

Well done Marine Life ignore the criticism its kinda like "Fake News"
The bottom line as far as im concerend is you have well and truly worked hard to achieve
Financial Independence.
Each day from this point you can decide for yourself to carry on working or do something else.
If the company or your boss upsets you, so what you dont have to politely smile and suck it up.
I applaude you most of us on here would like to have your wealth and financial independence. You created that nobody else. Jolly well done...0 -
