I've got about 6 more years before I can leave. If I knew in my twenties what I know now, I would have left a long time ago.

Hello @weq,
Why 6 more years??
The time is now while the getting out is good.

I know....It's not that simple, though. I have two teenagers. My husband has vested 20 years into a career for which he will receive a pension that he invested in. A pension is no guarantee, I understand that. But, financially speaking waiting out the 6 years makes more sense.

Sorry to say but in 6 yrs a pension will be worthless.
Your kids are better off learning from the Internet then schools.
Soon, you will not have a choice to leave the US as my grandparents found out the hard way in Germany.
best of luck to you.

Thank you.
