Happy Tuesday!  Thank you for joining me and Jenn for another edition of Tuesday Topics.  Remember to link up with us!  Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier!  Don’t forget to come back for later linkers!

Many of you know that I am a teacher.  This is my 15th year of teaching.  I am exhausted.  You also know that I like my job.  I don’t love it but I don’t hate it.  I do have my days when I hate being a dual language teacher, but that is a conversation for another day.

My plan is to retire in 10-12 years.  If I could, I would retire now.  Since I can’t do it now, I have to suck it up!  🤣 🤣 

So what is my plan while I wait for retirement?

• Save money in a 403(b) account.  I have been saving since my first year of teaching but don’t have enough for now.  I am looking into opening another account.  At the moment I cannot remember the name of it but it is an account similar to a 403(b).

• Continue to teach.  I already made a career change and don’t want to make another one.  So I will continue to make a difference in students’ lives.

• Work as a math interventionist.  It isn’t a career change.  I will still be working with students but in smaller groups.  I will work with only those students that need the extra help in Math.  The plan is to do this the last 4-5 years before I retire.  I want to spend my last couple of years “stress-free” and not have to deal with lesson plans, grades, or a classroom.

Next week is a FREE topic.  Feel free to write about any running-related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!
