Would you give up work if you could?

[Dingdong99]

I have a small business and have had an offer for someone to buy it, for an amount that, if I was careful, I could afford not to work again

While my business has been successful, I've been closed since March due to Covid and don't know if things will bounce back when I reopen

If I sold up, I'd be around for my two small kids, be less stressed etc. It sounds quite nice not to work!

But I'm also worried I'd miss doing what I do, and would lose part if my identity, get bored etc

WWYD?

I can keep myself busy, but I miss people.
This.

I miss coming into contact with other people too. When you're not working, you have to make an effort to meet up with other people which is okay I suppose, if you have lots of family and friends. For this reason, I am going to try and organise some voluntary work for a couple of days a week or perhaps eventually, some sort of paid work (the other things I want to do are fairly insular) but unlike Dr, I hope to only do 5 hour days as my dcs are still young (fitting in with school hours).
