We had a really bad month in our house. My wife manages COVID for her company (which has locations nationwide) and when it hit it was bad. She felt really guilty about some things that happened (when in reality she was mocked by other managers for being to harsh about safety measures) and resigned. I wasn't happy because her quitting meant I would retire 10 years later. She didn't want to work at all. So her work gave her a month off and she accepted.

So I've changed my perspective; I'm going to use my 30 years of experience to make every penny I can outside of work. Realizing that my retirement is no guarantee was really upsetting. I'll still ride my bike and hopefully race, I need the bike for stress relief. All my spare time is going into my current project now. In the past, I've always thought making a company to produce something is 'scamming people' but I'm trying to change my outlook on that.
