I retired from the state of Louisiana (TRSL) with twenty years of teaching in May of 2005 at the age of forty-six. I receive a life long pension of $1,404.00 and if I should die it would go to my wife until she dies. I also receive retiree health insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana with covers me and my spouse. My school district (CPSB) pays 75% of the premium for the rest of my/spouse life and I pay $299.50 per month. I am now employed with the School District of Lee County (7.6 years service so far) and I plan to work for a total of another twenty years. In 2025, I will have another $1,555. per month through FRS, $1,344 with DROP and $1,494 with Social Security. I will be 66 1/2 years of age in 6/30/2025. My point of this is that our profession doesn't pay us enough to live when we begin our career as a teacher. I started at $16,000 a year. I had to work at least three jobs for my first twenty years. But if you love teaching as i do and stick with it, you can do really well at the end if you make some smart decisions and be creative with your personal abilities to create extra income. I have been teaching private guitar, piano, and voice after school for excellent extra income (I am a music teacher) and I perform as an entertainer part time. Having these abilities have helped continue in the career I love and enjoy so much.

What else can I help you with?
