---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dave, Something else I like about this occupation, if one is self-employed as most of us probably are, is that one doesn't have to go suddenly from a full-time job down to no work. I am 56, and if I feel the need to "downshift," I can choose to work less. Maybe 16 pianos per week rather than 20, then later on 13, 10, 5 or whatever as I enter the retirement years. But I haven't figured out how to gradually cut down the number of customers I've served these many years. I guess I'll ask this list for that advice when I need it. For now I just decide how many pianos I'm willing to do in a month, and the rest go on a waiting list or get referred to someone else.
