I turned 60 last April. 10 years ago I relocated to a smaller community and work was not as lucrative as it had been previously for a few reasons.

I was burnt out 5 years ago, but luckily I found a 25/hour per week job in 2019 with a school that gives me a ton of flexibility, including normal school breaks. This allows me to camp in the summer, visit the kids/grandkids when I want, and generally take the time I want to screw around. This included a group of buddies taking 10 days to drive to Rennsport this past September/October. The pay isn't fantastic, but it pays basic bills and has great insurance.

My current plan is to retire when I'm 65. I'm happy to have this job and while the work isn't challenging, the people are great. Thankfully, the house is paid off, and there is no other debt other than a commercial loan on my small apartment building. I'm also not 100% sure how I would spend all of my time. I don't want to waste away, so this has been a great interim step towards full retirement.
