Comment on Are you on track to retire comfortably? Australia's new super benchmark released
Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 1 day agoIs your trade very physical? I did 3 years of residential construction when I was 18-21. There was no way I could have maintained that lifestyle long term. Was enough to inspire me to go study so I could get a desk job. I am 41 now and happy with my choice.

Very much so, diesel mechanic on massive machinery the size of buildings.
I certainly feel it the older I get so I went and did cert 4 in business management ans a cert4 in leadership and management so I’m more competitive in getting a job running a workshop in the future.
Ideally though owning my own company, eventually I might be able to hire someone else and then work on getting more work to get others employed.
Obviously pie in the sky dreams but goals are good for me to have
