Sell the company, take the tax hit and move somewhere that is warm and has a beach.
I’m 4th generation in this business, I’ve already explained to my son there’s a snowballs chance in hell he is ever working here and not to even dream of taking the place over.
It sucks, but there is no way I’m burdening him with all the sh*t we have to put up with, if he wants to go it alone I’ll do whatever I can to help him, but I will not put the burden of following in my footsteps on him.
Every year your idea is looking better and better.
