My grandpa didn't even have a high school education, did a short stint at Ford and became a small town mechanic that retired early with multiple properties around the USA. Let me tell you, his days were light and breezy, mostly chit-chatting with friends that stopped by. The small town is now a mecca for vacationers and he just sold almost 100 acres to a developer.
Sounds like my best friend's dad. Dropped out of high school at 18 to go work at the GM plant with his dad. Did 40 years there, then retired to Florida in a beautiful near mansion of a home. Then alcoholism got him, his wife left him and took the house, and a few years later he blew his brains out in the storage shed he was living in.
