If you're young enough, get a job in government (teaching, fireman, police officer, etc.) there is nothing better than a defined pension at the end of your career. Government employees, don't get rich, but it is made up later when they pay you for not coming to work.

I'm paying $1275 for 6 months on a 2013 Lexus SUV with 26K miles. I've looked around several times. Cheapest I could get. Maybe its different in Florida due to hurricanes?

Also buy a house ASAP that has potential for growth. in prices. The equity can be a source of income if you run into trouble later. It builds wealth. We paid the same price for a house in Florida as my house back in Lees Summitt. But, in the 10 years I've lived in this house its almost tripled in value. Lees Summitt house, maybe 5% growth. Do your research and make the leap.

Mine is for 3 vehicles and the newest is a 2014 Prius. We just changed yesterday, so it's all pretty fresh on my mind. One thing I have learned is you have to change every three or four years as they all keep jacking it up once they think you are comfortable with them.n |

Yeah, about five years into my job, my manager at the time came to me and said they were thinking about giving me a team so they could show management I was ready to be promoted. I asked her how many and she said, "Oh, 3 or 4. I don't want to stress you."
"Lori, I was pushing 3-4 people around 12 years ago* in the Army. If you're worried that'll stress me, then please do not consider me for the job. I've been management (aka senior NCO) and I don't like it. I don't like paperwork and I don't like useless meetings. I like tech writing/editing." That's when I told her about my time as the Operations Sergeant with 84 people. "Honestly, I think being asked to lead 3-4 people would be a big step backward for me." "Oh. So, how's the tech writing going?" "Great." "Good to hear. Any suggestions for who might be good at this team lead slot?" *12 years before that conversation I was a Specialist serving as a squad leader. My first squad as a Sergeant was 23 kids right out of Basic Training . . now that was an experience to say the least. Eventually, they assigned half of them to another Sergeant which did NOT make me cry. Quote:
