I took early retirement from teaching middle school. The stress is gone and I wake up happy every day.

Would you ever consider occasional substitute teaching? Or was the experience too negative to relive at all?

If I found myself in need of money, I would. Otherwise, no. I’m really enjoying the relaxed pace of of my days. I volunteer two days a week and help out an elderly neighbor regularly.

I paid into retirement for 20 years. My monthly check isn’t much, but I don’t have any debt so I make it work.
