I'm a special ed teacher funded by the feds, and hubby retired last spring from the IRS (not a tax collector, an engineer!)
And military anything is definitely government, and thank you very much for all you do to help keep us safe.

With a name like Frugal, I'm betting you're not getting one of those pensions either.

I've got 24 years in...and still have the pension available...but with the new governor we got, there is talk that we may be losing our retirement health care and pensions and all that jazz...which is what has happened to most private sector employees too.

So I'll probably end up working until I'm 85, just so I can keep my health care.

I really do love my job - it's the drive that I hate.
