My wife is a school teacher so we have weekdays off in the summer-it is a whole different lake during the week!

This summer will be my last teaching summer school (after 13 years). I'm very much looking forward to having the summer off with my wife, who is also a teacher. 🤞

My wife's company just offered a "golden parachute" which she is going to accept. She's 63 and they are giving her two years free health care and two years pay in her pension to retire this year. It's a no brainer, it will cover both of us to Medicare. I'm 64 and have my own business so I'm going to try and work two more years.

Sounds like a great opportunity. Godspeed, friend!

Too bad you have to do it this summer! At this point I don't want to give up any Summers, might not have many left! My wife always wants to do seminars and curriculum planning things during the Summer. I always discourage her if I can. She just turned 60 and wants to teach until she is 70! I just reply "Well see"!!!

I don't think a scale exists to measure just how much I'd like to bail on this summer, but the (financial) reality is that I need one more. I've tutored, organized and taught remediation programs, taught night school, and run a summer school program these last 13 years. All of these have been to balance out the first decade's wages and student loans, new home, and new family expenses. We're getting there!

Now, in the interested of full disclosure: my summer school program runs from 9-12 and consists of academically motivated students on a (majestic) private school campus. I'm up late and out by lunch, sooo... (Still keeps me away from the lake!)
