Don't buy a bar unless you want to be married to it. :D
I have a partner, not a half owner partner but a profit share partner. Hes the key element, he's been a district manager for Godfathers Pizza, Pizza Hut and now Loves travel stop and he always make them money so they use him all over the state.
Hes my BIL and going through chemo for some nasty cancer so depending on his health status after this storm clears, hes up to retire from Loves and work with me owning this bar.
If we can turn a much larger profit than I think they currently are (which shouldnt be hard at all), I'll be able to sell it for much more than I'm buying at.
And it will maybe be the first non smoking bar in OK or anywhere. lol

Worst part for me retiring earlier that I had originally intended has been the cost of medical insurance and the increases. Mine is going up $130 a month starting in January. I'm not eligible for Medicare for 3 1/2 more years.
Having the house and both vehicles paid for was the only way I could go ahead and retire after 41 years with one employer.
I can keep my Health choice ins. l when I retire. The premium is something like $500 a month I think and I can keep that premium and the state will pay $100 a month of that.
Thats a huge plus

For 14 years I worked very independently and got great reviews and merit raises,,,
Now my new supervisor (millennial PhD with a man bun) thinks I need to be micro-managed.

What used to be a fun and satisfying job is being turned into useless drudgery,,,
When I do walk away I'll not have any reason to look back.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the coffee mug. When my boss retired, we made a colossal mistake in hiring his successor. He ran off everyone in the department, then got himself fired. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. He managed to take a job where I loved going to work and make it hell on earth; it's just a shame that it took so long for management to figure it out.

Been retired since 2005 and love it. Now I have time to do what I want. I write, shoot and net surf. The neat part was drawing full pay for six months. I got laid off after Boeing sold Wichita and since I worked there 28 years,I got 26 weeks of severance pay after which I put in my papers and retired. Never looked back.

I retired at age 54 and apparently I was the only one retired because all my friends still had to work. It can get lonely but my wife filled in the blanks.. We recently were thinking we'd RV like Terry Miller but RV costs have suddenly jumped to where we're not going to invest in one until the Covid19 has diminished. The virus is at fault for the rising prices.
