After 18 years in business for myself and the loss of my two largest long-term accounts through no fault of their own (their parent organizations decided to move in a different direction), it's time to call it a day and go back to being a paycheck employee. The stress and expense of rebuilding my customer base at my age didn't appeal to me as much as a decade ago.
Since there is a pretty good demand for the field I was in previously, I really liked the work, and degrees aren't the be-all, end-all for a good career in that field, I started spewing out resumes a week ago. One week later I have one firm job offer and one that will be getting back to me tomorrow. I've been getting HR calls and emails all week but these two have been the fastest movers.
So, as of right now, I'm leaning towards the first which means I'll be moving on my own for the first time in 20 years. My wife will be staying put to run her own business and I'll manage her books remotely. It's an emotional but exciting time and I'm looking forward to new challenges.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
