I'm late 40s. Mortgage paid. Decent amount of savings. Dislike my profession even though I work from home and it's well paid. I'd love to set up a little business, maybe to pass on to my kids if they are interested. But what? I have many letters after my name but apart from knitting & gardening, I have no real proper skills.

Why work if you don't have to?

Material things can break, get lost or stolen or even lose value and become meaningless. Experience and wisdom is more valuable than anything.
treat yourself. become you.
that would be the greatest gift to your children.

If you want to set up a little business, I have a large quantity of nice pottery that I could let you have at cost price, a box or more at a time. I can send you some photos.
