[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I was curious because there was a person who announced their retirement in the FCPS system and my spouse and I were trying to figure out why they would retire.  They are great with kids, they have so much energy and we like them a lot.  The only thing that we could think of is that they are making a pretty healthy salary after being in the school system for several decades which would translate into a nice pension.

Curiosity got the best of me.

I know, I know, MYOB.

Oooooooohhhh M Geeeeee

The level of nosiness is unreal.

Knowing the person's salary wouldn't tell you want their pension is. Furthermore, people retire for many different reasons and not one of them is any of your business. I know a teacher who planned to work for several more years. Then her grandbaby came along and all bets were off. She retired. It had nothing to do with the pension. Another left because she didn't like what's become of teaching and education. She decided life's too short, she'd put in enough years so she retired.

FWIW I don't believe your story. One, I don't believe you're even married. What woman with a family has time to worry about someone else's money? And what man sits around with his wife pondering a person's reason for retirement? Secondly, I don't think you're trying to figure out a person's pension by asking for their salary. I think you're trying to find out how much a younger (than retirement age) teacher is making simply because you're nosey.[/quote]
