60! started full time two years ago after 20 years swanning around in a posh car and a suit. I had been part time for quite a while as well.
Had a baby boy at 58, first child and still alive!
Use an ettore pole for 98% of my work and backpack for the rest.
Do a full day and feel great afterwards, how long can it last!! wish I'd done it years ago.
