    New Florida Part-timer

    Hello to all! I've been reading and enjoying your posts and tips for nearly six months, and I decided to give this a shot part-time. I recently purchased a very used, but wonderful '95 Dodge Dakota, and I made my first two runs to a scrapyard where I took in just a bit less that $90. I'll use all I gain here to slide my way into retirement after 32 years teaching. I'm a healthy 55 year old who has raised three great kids, but sorely neglected building a nest-egg. Soooo, for the next ten years, I'll enjoy the fruits of scrapping two hours each evening and all summer break long. Every penny I make will go right into a savings account up until I say goodbye to the middle school life.
