I think retirement is a pipe dream...

I could not stand my employer any longer. Rehab companies stink. So I took a huge salary cut to go back to work for the state of Maryland. It's a great setting and I never should have left to be honest. The HR manager says there may be a possibility that, to mitigate the salary cut, the state may buy back the missing years in my state pension, which means I'd be eligible for the 25-year pension in 2029 and social security in 2028.

There is a slim chance that this just may work. Now, in the meantime I need to figure out how to make due with less :hihi:
