6. My income stream would definitely slow to a trickle

But it wouldn't dry up completely, and I have a little put aside for "the day."

My health history and my wife's are factors, that's for sure.

My trouble is that I'm a little hard-pressed to find a successor, and my outfit would definitely need one.

I could probably find someone trained in the detection of counterfeit money. I could probably also find someone willing to be in a different country every day. I could probably even find someone able to speak French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, German and Russian, and has an EU work permit. The trouble is, I need someone who is all of the above, and the line of applicants is not exactly extending out the door and around the block. I have painted myself into a corner, jobwise. I have all the job security I could ever want, but that is because it is so $§/$§$§/*!! difficult to find someone else who can do my job!
