Great story.......I'll just offer 2 quotes

Different isn’t always better,
But better is always different

Life is what you make of it man. No doubt. No sense in spending 50 hours a week away from your family to then come home sour and salty. I missed too many dinners, too many ball games, and too many moments with my kids making other people wealthy. Moving on.

Congrats Dave, happy for you! Starting over can be a good thing in many ways.

I started over at 43, took allot of classes in IT, I was a Tool Maker, I really enjoyed my job, but it was killing my knees and my income.

61 now and eligible to retire in less than a month, although i will wait a couple of years. Youngest still in college.

I also started over with a new family at the age of 31, i still support my first family so to speak.

Semper Fi, it means everything.

Brother Joe
