Retired March 1 this year. Been an Educator for 23 years. Miss the students and the people I
worked with, but not the ridiculous mandates, budget cuts and parents who expected me to raise
their children. Been working everyday over coming 20 yrs of neglect at my house. Just got back
from The Great Smokie Mountains National Park and leaving again for the coast in our R-POD 176.
Retired life is grand. My daily schedule is my own. Turned 62 in Feb. Have Teacher retirement and Social Security.

I'll be retirment eligible in the spring of '14 at age 38. However, I don't know if I can handle straight retirement. The kids are still young and in school. We do a lot of our trips now and have done a cross-country in conjunction with a move.

I retired 9 years ago, but after 6 months, I started driving a school bus.  140 kids a day; yes I might just be crazy.  I have had enough, but darn it, I'm used to that extra money now, although it's not much.  This is Florida where you get paid in peanuts.  Anyway, we've been in Mass for a few weeks and I just might be driving home in a Winnebago, leaving the Pod and truck as trades.  The Pod gets too small after a while.  I'll know for sure this week.  The class A is used (2006), but with only 6K miles, I'm definately leaning that way.  I know my mpg will suffer, but 11.2 mpg towing the Pod doesn't exactly get me excited either.
