It's back to work I go, and I do NOT want to go back to teaching! Geesh! I already have 30 years in the field and I am BURNED OUT. But the state says I have to put up with at least another 2 years before I can SEMI-retire, and 8 more years before FULL retirement.
Well, since the house won't be paid off for another 3 years, I will just have to tough it out until then. Hopefully my semi-benefits will be enough to make up for the difference the house payment takes when I'm fully employed. If not...
But what I wouldn't give to write full time.
