One Week to Retirement

[Mr. Wizard]

I am close. Been a shop teacher for 34 years. Lots of steps on concrete have rendered my feet and ankles mush. I now have a scooter at school. Love teaching and fear walking away. Trying to transition in my brain and wallet what retirement will look like.

And... how are you at relating to students nowadays? Ease up and play Grandpa seems the way to go with a behind the back bird at the Admin

Generally, I see women retire at the right time, long before the men. Lots of old guys afraid of not "having a plan". Some are coaches and can't leave that part. Being a PE teacher, working out and listening to rock music all day --isn't that retirement?!?!

There has been no Medicaid discussion. You are in need of some education.

Medicaid = Free healthcare for the really dirt poor at any age

Medicare = Healthcare for everyone 65 and older
