I work 20 hours per week -- and I have summers and vacations off. I don't make much money, no benefits, but I really like what I'm doing. I'm a person who needs structured time. I do some volunteer work, too. In this economy, however, as a single woman, retirements funds and SS/Medicare just don't cut it. I'm lucky I own my home! I like your blog very much--and thanks for visiting Sacred Ordinary. I will add you to my blogroll.
