Retirement in landscaping feels impossible with all this physical grind

Man, I've been pushing mowers and hauling mulch for 15 years now, and retirement savings? It's a joke. Between keeping up with Stihl gear that breaks down constantly and dealing with seasonal slowdowns, there's barely anything left to sock away. I saw a thread on r/landscaping where guys talked about IRAs, but who has time to figure that crap out after a 12-hour day? Watched Mike Andes on YouTube breaking down business finances, and he made it sound doable, but in this line of work, your back gives out before your bank account does. Anyone else feeling stuck?

Screw the 401ks, just invest in a good chiropractor and call it retirement planning. Fight me on that.

Insurance companies are robbing us blind on workers comp premiums just to cover the idiots who think lifting 80lb bags of soil wrong is optional. And now retirement? We're all gonna be broke and broken.

Same boat here, brother. Knees shot from years of edging beds, and the savings account laughs at me every month.

Hit 20 years last month and finally got a SEP-IRA rolling with some landscape contract profits. Feels good to see it grow, even if it's slow.

Ugh, feel you on the grind. My shoulders are toast from trimming hedges all summer, and retirement? What's that?

Totally get it, man. Watching the wife worry about our future while I'm out there sweating over sod installs.

Retirement? Nah, I'll just die with my boots on. But seriously, started a side hustle selling used Toro riders on the weekends to pad the nest egg. Keeps me laughing through the pain.
