Just reread the OP, it was even better the second time around. If I had to narrow it down, this is prob my favorite part.

I wonder if "early retirement" is a comon conversation starter with customers on the side gig.

Every response just feeds his ego. Best to ignore.

If people are trying to make you feel guilty or ashamed about not working, then they're being pretty rude.

I didn't have time to read this whole thread, but you should also count your blessings. Your dad hired you into a family business and cut you an ownership slice. He also sent you to a very good private college. I'm not saying you didn't work hard, but most people never get the kinds of opportunities you had.

Can you imagine driving your Range Rover to the dealership for maintenance only to have this guy as your shuttle driver? It’s not already bad enough that your car is in the shop 24/7, but to make things worse, you have to deal with a shuttle driver who won’t shut up about people being jealous of him? I honestly cannot think of anything worse than that. Truly hell on earth.

I really don’t have anything positive to add to this thread except to wonder why the OP felt compelled to burden us all with his insecurities.

I must be missing something here. So your annoyed with peoples response to your telling them your retired. I'm not sure how this comes up in everyday conversation with people you just met but if they ask just tell them your a car jockey. Problem solved.

After reading the original post, i dont know if I want to puke or laugh my head off. Interesting to say the least. Completely unsure what the reasoning for even posting this non-sense. I guess ill be accused of being jealous bc I’m 48 and still work......
