We have been here since 2001. I have been doing foot care for just as long.
25 years is nothing to sneeze at. Hubby spoke with an investment man who said we could retire at 62.which hubby turns next year.
We dont see us retireing any time soon. we both love our jobs and the longer you wait to retire the more you have for ss income.

I think it is wonderful you have held down a job for so long, especially with bipolar. Has your biplar mostly been stable with meds or do you still have a good deal of ups and downs? The longest I have ever held down a job is 1 month so I don't qualify for that disabiltiy or the other type (forget what they are called) because H earns too much. H also teaches at university, but engineering. He is up for tenure after next school year and is working hard to get the positive tenure review. But I think he'll get it just fine. He's just anxious about having to sell himself to the higher level committees that he doesn't know personally.
I love music too but H and I and daughter are all not musical. BIL is though. He teaches band at school and goodness plays just about every instrument in the band along with guitar and piano. My sister is a lucky woman!
