Former NASA engineer with full retirement benefits think house painters have a great life. Do you hear yourself?

"Former NASA engineer with full retirement benefits think house painters have a great life. Do you hear yourself?"

I was talking about younger people. One of my young friends who worked around the property here during his high school years (and still visits a couple of times per week) is now doing construction specifically so he has the option to do some of his own property maintenance when he becomes a landlord.

I am personally considering getting into property flipping here, though, but only as an investor. I've got plenty of amazing tradespeople here to bang the hammers, although even at my advanced age I wouldnt' be averse to making the occasional Home Depot run to keep them on site working.

In these near-retirement months I personally am busy performing IT security audits with Fortune 500 organizations. Today that keeps me as busy as I care to be.
