How close is retirement?
[Reply]

Not that close. I am 51. I still have a lot of life left. Possibly more now if the stress is much less.

Plan:
If I am lucky-5.
If I can stand it-10.
If I have too-15

I wasn't sure how old you were.

You've definitely still got some labor time! Less stress is important for current satisfaction and long term health. I hope it's a better situation for you.

My sister just retired last year at 55 as a middle school teacher in NJ and the first thing she and her husband did were to buy a house in another state that doesn't tax pensions! :-)

She hated the last 5-6 years of teaching. She put in 32 years.

Hope you make it out sooner rather than later......:-)

I've seen a lot of your posts and wondered how you can be employed as a teacher.
