Simple answer is too little money to retire yet. Employees keep backstabbing and stealing clients. Hellish business really.

I own the place, love what I do, love working with my husband.... yeah maybe if I had to do it all over again I might have built my business in a warm artsy town on a sea coast instead of upstate NY where it is still snowing but all considered I'm really happy...

I’m in the bank channel. Current management (here my entire time) supports me in whatever I need. 55-60% payouts after all is included.

If they ever leave....so will I.

I've been at my firm for over 10 years now. For me it's a combination of supportive regional management and corporate executives, a flexible work schedule, great profit sharing plan and 401k match, really great clients, and good business opportunities for growth. It's been a pretty fantastic combination, to be honest. But probably the single thing that's kept me where I am the most is good mentorship.

@ President 1, where in upstate NY?
