I'll probably keep working as long as my eyesight holds out. Hopefully there will still be Social Security and Medicare when I get there. And an Education Publishing industry up til then.
Operation Trojan Flowery 19th Century Bird-Watching Diary
is a go, with a foam compartment cut inside to hold the actual gift. Now I just need to glue the fake front diary pages to the spine and wrap it up.
Getting a 30-year mortgage in LA real estate at ages 42/46 means we will be retiring never. This is my 21st year teaching since I started so young. I don't know if I have another 30 years in me. Maybe 20. But I'll definitely have to get another job after that unless ND's business gets to a point that it could support us both.
Man, I'd like to retire in 2031 or soon after. I need to look at numbers again and see if I am heading towards that reality. I really need to make headway on my debt in order to do that though.
I won't evee retire. I mean right now I work in retail getting paid less than mu Best Buy job.
I don't know my future and it's scary. It seems that retail is better for me emotoinally/mentally than the office jobs but I don't think I'm cut out to be a supervisor. When i worked in an office it was so hard to have anything leftover for life.
It's frustrating amd scary thinking about the future.
Retire?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA
Ahem, uh yeah, I don't see that happening for me.
Askye do you have benefits with your job?
Preeety sure that retirement is not going to be an option for me, because Pete is a freelance artist.
Tim's brothers and SiLs (all in their early to mid-50s) are looking ahead to retirement, and Tim and I are both like "Well, I'll be working right up until the morning of my funeral, so."
OTOH, my mother is incapable of slowing down, and was officially retired for about 2 nanoseconds. Then she got bored and got a part-time job that expanded into a 3/4-time and sometimes full-time job AND she took a year-long course to get certified to teach yoga and then opened a yoga studio in her basement AND teaches yoga at other locations. The woman is 71 years old and had major heart surgery 6 months ago. She is a dynamo.
My dad is *finally* retired, but it took moving in with his ladylove and selling the house he and my mom lived in. I was completely supportive of both of those things.
