1st year of a 5 year period out of work, the Banks really fucked over the consultants side of the construction industry. I was too senior and too experienced for the jobs being advertised despite a lot of interviews. Two sons still living at home, the E92 sitting in the driveway.
Now, still working though past my retirement date, despite raking in the cash, one son (the one with the F-Type) earns more than me, the other son, gave me and SWMBO our first grand child. After the 430i GC, settled on a highly specified XE as a "retirement" car. Liking it a lot. Our 2nd holiday of the year took in Washington DC and flying first class and soon, off to Australia and New Zealand for a month.
I prefer 2019 to 2009
