--- Begin Message --- Good for you Dave. I could retire next year, but I'm shooting for 4 more years, which would make 30. I never thought I would live this long, much less work this long. My worry is what to do after retirement.From: "David O'Connell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "William Willis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: FW: Re: [QUAD-L] Work Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 20:12:59 -0700gotcha good buddy. i maxed at 76k. done now - coasting on ssdi and retirement. not my choice, but it works. dave On 3/22/06, William Willis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:I got my BA in English in 1976, 5 years post injury. I started teaching at the local high school in 79 and have been there ever since. My salary this year is about 45k, which is about average. I don't get rich, but it is rewarding, and the health insurance would be impossible to get otherwise.

(I taught school a little in the middle but the money was skimpy compared to corporeate pay.) I worked for HW for 25 years at which point they dumped me for cheap foreign labor. I am a c3 incomplete and don't have any major problems with pressure sores or sediment. Lucky I guess although I'm pretty active. Not sure I answered your questions or not. Oh BTW, I understand the max SSDI is around 2000 a month, although I'm still curiouys as to if that will be taxable income next April 15th. I just started this in Jan.
