I learned after a couple years it had been me creating my own stress in life, and it has not changed.

Like you mentioned, you are doing your own shit and I have a ton of it to do. Car/Boat shop, wood shop, etc. etc.

We enjoy our own company with kids and grandkids visits being the best.

we have no debt but the house. But, it’s worth at least $500K more than we owe. We may sell and have a house mortgage free and then we have no debt.

We have some cash but not the $1million or more I read online is the bar. That seems high for middle class unless you started saving in your 20’s.
