And he was done last year.

I'm the minority in these scenarios! I make less money than all of you and love my job more than everyone. Being "involved" 70-80 hours a week but I don't call it work. I am blessed. I have never worked a day in my life. When I wake up, I'm excited at what I get to do (help kids) as opposed to what I have to do. Sundays suck because I usually am off. A few days at Christmas without a game and I go crazy. I love the beach and Jamaica in July recharges me! But, it would be selfish of me to ever retire when I can help kids.... Nothing better than that!

I think you hit on alot right there

You are in a job that you enjoy and still have some flexibility to get away and enjoy some time in Jamaica or wherever you chose.

The ability to operate somewhat on your terms helps tremendously on whether you truly enjoy what you are doing

Your job does have some perks I am sure. Like Chaperoning in Brazil. Not a bad perk
