I have been working for about 40 years now, on and off, as I have changed careers about as many times as people have changed their clothes.
I have about six more years to go and then I will get a little money each month, which is about enough to pay my rent and my food for the month here overseas.
I would just need maybe another four hundred bucks a month to cover the rest of my bills, which is easy to make working a little here and there each month. I could work a couple hours at the local business doing odds and ends, or I could teach yoga like I have been and make that much each month. It will for sure be a lot easier paying bills each month with a little help and not long after that I will get a big chunk of money from my dad’s will. Heating and cooling repairs is what my dad’s company did for 50 years and he left all of the HVAC earnings to his four kids, which will come in handy down the road when I quit working. Well, I don’t think I will ever totally stop working unless I get too old to move my body, in which case my life will be pretty much over at that point. Hopefully I can work as a cooling supplier for another 30 years part time and feel like I am still needed in this world, instead of sitting in a rocking chair waiting for the end to come! Good luck to you all and stay healthy!
