I consider myself semi-retired, I drive a school bus. My usual route is a special needs, not that many pick ups, but quite a few miles. I average about 4 hrs. a day, 20 hours per week. Last year was a difficult year due to the pandemic and all the changes, sometimes on a daily basis. I was strongly considering not going back this coming school year, and still may not depending on the latest covid surge. I keep doing it because it gets me out of the house, I like the interaction with kids, parents and teachers, at least, most of the time, the hours fit in well with the rest of my day. I really like having the financial options the income gives me. I don't like dealing with the traffic and every year that gets worse. There will come a day when I decide it is not worth doing anymore, I just plain do not want to do it anymore, or I cannot do it for some reason, then I will be fully retired. There are a lot of bored, unhappy retired people out there, I don't want to be one of them.
