Life is about consistency and keeping steady with the course.
It can feel dull and boring at times but maintaining a consistent and even keel is needed to get anywhere in life.
I’ve been working steadily for the past 40 years now and in about 15 more years I will be able to hang up my working hat once and for all and call it a day. I don’t mind working though as it gives me a sense of purpose and a sense of continuity. I will always probably do some kind of work, even after retiring, and maybe HVAC repair part time could be a good fit for me. I don’t want to sit home and do nothing when I am older, and hopefully I can do some music shows in a band or something like that. I’ve been drumming with my HVAC tech friend for a few years now and singing as well, and we both work together during the days doing things like furnace/heater service and heating tune up jobs for people in their homes and businesses. We have been doing that kind of work for many years while we fine tune our music and get it ready for the road. Our plan is to get a nice caravan with a good HVAC system so that we can travel during the summer in air conditioned luxury as we do shows in ski resorts and surf clubs during the winter and summer seasons. I think it is a good plan and it should work out if we just maintain our course.
