[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make $27K, work 15 hours/wk (10am-3pm, 3 days), at a local nonprofit that I can walk to. Very flexible in terms of working from home or PTO; can also take unpaid leave. 48yo, second career after SAH for about 13 years. It's interesting work and I like this job, but it's not nearly as lucrative or prestigious--or as stressful--as my first career, and that's just fine.[/quote]

I had to go back and see if I wrote this.  I work for a non-profit. Part-time.  Typically between 20-25 hours a week. My kids are grown, except for one high school senior at home.  I only make about $30k a year.  Basically play money.  The work is meaningful and interesting. My co-workers are wonderful people. My commute is 1.2 miles. My hours are mostly flexible.

My DH retires in five years. We'll be 55. He'll likely do some consulting work and I'll hopefully keep this job till I'm too old to walk. We plan to spend most of our time sailing and traveling. And most importantly, hanging out with out grandkids.

I left the full-time working world 27 years ago when our oldest was born. I went back part-time once they were all in school.  I'll never work full-time again, God willing.  [/quote]
