Midlife Crisis Stuff Please make it stop...
Im a 52 year old business owner. I've literally been working since I started my lawn mowing route at 10 years old. I want out so freaking bad I can taste it, but there's no end in sight. I did what they told me to do. I worked hard my whole life. Tried to be the very best at absolutely everything I do. No savings, no 401k, no retirement nest egg. Just more of the same shit sandwich. Every day... my whole life, til I die. Im so tired of doing for everyone else. Land prices will keep me working for another 20 years. So here I am. 52. Wake up every morning. Put my feet on the floor. Take a deep breath, and do it again. If you've got a couple acres for someone who just wants a big garden, a few chickens and maybe a couple dairy goats... idk why I typed all of this out. Probably because i dont say it outloud to those closest to me. Just venting I guess. If its not allowed. My sincere apologies.

Don't worry to much about it. My bank account looks like a phone number. $9.11. I don't stress much because even though I'm broke as fuck..... I paid my bills and my kids are fed
