The flexibility in my position allows us the ability to travel and do the things we enjoy in the summers. This board is a wealth of information and would love some assistance in making this decision. If it were you, would you continue working part time or would you take the full time position (which would allow you to get to TOTV a year sooner)?

If you enjoy your life style now because you have more time with your spouse--my vote is stay part time!, Life is short and you never know what is around the next bend in the road!, good luck--I gave up a full time job making good money so that we could spend more quality time in Paradise--- we call it it our Leap of Faith
