D2 right there with you! My years to turn 60 and I am working on getting back in shape

I'm still in consulting but stopped traveling at 48. I was a road warrior for more than 20 years. It ruined my back and I have been over weight for about 15 years now. Its very difficult to stay healthy on the road.

What?

I am 60 now. Still in Consulting but not traveling as much over the last year. No, I don’t think it has negatively impacted my health.

Always packed running shoes for past 20 years...kept me mentally sane, see great cities from outside a taxi, and shakes off last nights client dinner :-) It’s defo a “cost” I tell the youngers to take care and see me in the lobby at 0600! Getting enough good quality sleep with a peaceful mind is equally important (it was too many years before I realised I was “good enough” and that it would never be as bad as I imagined the night before).

Feeling grateful & proud as I reached my goal ($50K by 25) 5 months early. But I can’t help feeling a bit overwhelmed. In the lifelong scheme of things, $50K doesn’t seem like much. I worked really hard and sacrificed a lot (including mental health) to get to this but it seems a little tiring knowing I still have so long to go. I recently moved out and in with my BF so my expenses are split, but nonetheless they are still expenses. Any tips on continuing this journey and keeping the drive?
