Yep, don’t drive near as much, the 8 per cent I was paying into Teachers Retirement went away, home has been paid for many years. My work clothes were Wrangler jeans, blue jean shirts, work boots. Wifey still works, taxes are 50,000 a year for the two of us. She is a semi big shot at an oilfield service company. Our taxes will come down as well as income when she hangs it up. My Medicare will cut in half. We have to pay double, because of her income.
