May 2020

I retired at 62.5 to watch my grandkids, now 9, almost 6 and 18 months. After 7 weeks “off” I go back today as my son-in-law is going back to work (construction) and daughter has been WFH and will continue to do so indefinitely. Took my SS at 63 and I’m incredibly fortunate to have my PA public schools pension. (The real reason McConnell won’t help blue states - to screw over public employees in states where they’re treated decently).
