Hi there.
My life partner, Augie Clancy, and I live on 5 acres just inside the limits of the beautiful community of Flagstaff Arizona. We are both retired and living primarily on our combined Social Security income. Our family consists of two dogs and two cats (oh, and 3 grown children, 2 spouses of children and 6 grandchildren.)
I retired from teaching High School Math on the Navajo reservation 3 years ago. I came to teaching late in my working life, but I have been associated with K-12 education for most of that time. I was once a PhD candidate in Mathematics, but that was long ago and far away. Mostly I worked as what is currently termed a software engineer but used to be called programmer and systems analyst at school districts in Philadelphia, PA, and Oakland CA. I also did a stint in the private sector in Berkeley and San Francisco.
Two of our sons lost their houses since 2008; one was unemployed long enough to run out of federal benefits before finding his current job; the other son lost his restaurant business; two of Augie's siblings lost their houses.
We are seriously considering renting our house and moving to Mexico in the next two years in order to live affordably on our income.
