Retirement

My mother-in-law teaches high school with the sister of Exxon’s president and CEO. The looming reality of four dollar a gallon gas might be bad for most families, but not every family. She was speaking with her brother about her Texas teacher’s retirement plan. As she explained the financial benefits which would support her until the end of her life, she was interrupted by her CEO brother saying “Don’t worry about it…You are going to be ok.” I think that would be a bit of an understatement. At least my truck’s beverage consumption problem is helping a nice high school teacher.
