This was interesting,
A friend who I have coached high school track with for the past 20 years said to me on friday night at a track meet that he understood my situation and would jump at leaving new jersey if he was in my shoes.
Says my 120 mile round trip commute to newark nj to teach in a rotten inner city high school only to have to pay high property taxes and a large mortgage, run cars into the ground in 4 years only to have to replace cars every 4 years gotta have reliable vehicles when you drive so far daily. Go for it he says.
He sold his house, teaches in a wonderful new jersey community so he is gonna stay is renting near his high school.
So as we write here I am getting the wife to start on a trip to north carolina to search for the new homestead.
Me I am waiting till the house sells then dancing on my principals desk telling him I am leaving.
I will probably sub, coach and like I earlier said sell kayaks or running shoes.
New Jersey will give me my earned pension which I have contributed for almost 30 years of over 32,000 plus medical bennies for both of us and a COLA after 24 months then every 12 months, the wife gets a small pension of about 3,000 in 2008, heck the thought of being 50 in april and having a new home paid for cash in NC and doing what I want to do is just well
PRICELESS!
