I know this was very hard and emotional decision to make. As a long time fan and supporter of the channel, I know 100% that you made the right choice. I’m so excited for you and the family to take on this new chapter in life. Congrats Kevin!
Hey Kevin, my husband and I are full-time resellers since Sept 2020. We are also a homeschooling family of history buffs, and our sons have their own ebay store. So, we have a lot in common. We were part-time resellers before this, my husband quit his job and has had zero regrets. We've been watching forever, as subscribers, we just never comment. CONGRATS!!
I too taught History/Geography in secondary ed. Coached three sports for 12 years. Stopped teaching in 2005 to care for my wife, and build homes. I enjoyed this part of my life until my wife passed away. I went back and taught the extra 4 years for retirement. I would never regret the years I was able to spend with my wife before she passed away. Good luck Kevin. Keep the faith brother.
Hi Friends, This is Kim from RK Treasure Center.I watched the whole video and got a little choked up at the end as I totally get it. I left my nursing career after 19 years and while it was such a good decision… at the same time I shed tears. You guys are an amazing strong family who will do great things! Your channel has blessed many and will continue to do so. Wonderful and great things are to come. God bless your sweet family Kim “The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. “- J.M. Barrie
The most important thing in this video is his relationship with his wife. His wife said it... "I know you..." My wife blesses me and my business everyday and believes in me. I believe failure is not an option when we have a positive spouse in our corner. God Bless man on the next chapter.
To quote Dr. Seuss “Oh, the things you can do that are good for you.” I’m confident that when you closed one door a much wider door opens for you. You’re a wonderful teacher but you are also a great reseller! You got this! Good luck to you & your family. From A Fellow Retired Educator
Good for you Kevin. There is no reward greater than the one we give up for our family and taking a risk. You have a enormous amount of stamina, energy and a knowledgeable sense of what sells. I gave up a high paying position to raise my Grandaughter. She is now in Medical school. I missed my income so I taught myself to sew and started making children’s outfits. Started selling on eBay and the last outfit I made went for 1000. My father had passed but I could here him saying don’t give up Mary keep going. no so I did. You will be successful. Change is hard but also exciting. Congratulations Kevin.
No regrets, you will do awesome. I have learned so much from you. Your family is beautiful and you have hair, lol, I don't believe I have seen you without a hat. Take care Kevin and blessings from So. Cal.
I went through the same dilemma 4yrs ago. I used to just take the safe road, had great paying job and large sum in the bank but was bored and unhappy. I felt like I was watching my life pass before me and finally decided I am going to quit and find something for myself. I started off buying a second house doing the work and flipping it, I found that while I liked it I didn't have a reliable contractor so it wasn't for me. I sold the flip house for a profit, from that point on I have spent the last 3yrs reselling and have loved it ever since. My wife has been incredibly supportive, she was a bit concerned at the start as she is not much of a risk taker but I couldn't do this without her support.
Awesome. For me i work 48 hrs a week for now. Just started a few months ago. Once everything gets to a certain point and takes off and debt paid down.. itll be time for me to go full Monty. Great info tho.
Congrats Kevin and Heather!! We are so happy for you guys! && What a great video hearing the family’s perspective. You guys deserve this extra time together! - PS selfishly excited to hear H say she is looking forward to garage sales! Holding her to it next time!
I'm not crying, you're crying! Darn allergies... aww Blue Ridge Mama likes having you around after all these years 🙂 It's always been obvious that she's supportive of, and a big part of, the reselling business. So her support of this particular decision doesn't surprise me. Pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but I homeschooled both of my kids, too. We loved it! My husband owned his own business most of that time, so our schedule was pretty open and allowed us to go wherever we wanted. I'm so excited for you guys! Now I've seen the other Kevin (TN Picker) go full time, Candice quit her job to work with Lonnie, Edin and Melinda both quit to go full time, and just last week Haley quit her job to work with Josh. I'm sure there are others, but those are the first to come to mind. I can't wait to see where the journey leads... ❤️
Congratulations!!! Love Regan’s answer. 😂😂 Don’t give up teaching. Just start another channel Commonwealth History!! Do skill share! I’ll sign up for your class. Congratulations again!
Retired educator here. I respect your decision to take this opportunity, especially the way school climate is these days. Blessings on your new adventure.
Who’s cutting onions ?? Lol. Thanks for all YOU and your family do. We are called to be bold and you are living that. On a different note, I researched an item I’m selling and looked under sold items and Lo and Behold! You sold the exact same item so you give others confidence that we can do it too. We are retiring soon and hope to do ebay full time after. Good luck and God bless you and your family ! It’s gonna be awesome !!!
I choked up watching you choke up. I just finished year 14. In Louisiana if I make it to 20 year retirement, I will continue to get same insurance benefits for rest of my life so I pretty much need to make it that far but I have considered doing what you are doing for same reasons you talked about. Congratulations on this new journey!
Kevin...I know how difficult this decision was for you. My husband was a teacher for 25 years before becoming physically disabled from a brain aneurysm. All he wanted to do was get back to the classroom. I know the deep connection you have with the kids...I saw this in my husband every day. My hubby passed away a few years ago...a generous soul taken too soon. Teaching was his passion. I am very happy for you that you are pursuing another passion that you are so good at. I enjoy all your videos...I don't comment often but I always give a thumbs up. Congratulations!
I left my education job in 2018 to do this, too. I was truly blessed to work with the kids and do the job that I was doing. While we faced a lot of changes, we embraced the opportunity to recreate ourselves. I LOVED teaching and being a superintendent. But, the opportunity to work at home with my wife and have control of my schedule, was too great to pass up. Y'all are in my prayers as you begin the next chapter of your lives!
I was a teacher for 27 years (History teacher, Athletic Director, Coach) and last year was my last year of teaching to go selling full-time. A little scary but it was worth it and you will not regret this decision. I miss the students and the excitement of a high school but love the hustle I get to do daily. By the way I also hate the idea of teaching English and never did it once in 27 years.
I appreciate your journey and I thank you for allowing us to be with you along the way. You will never regret this decision and I speak from experience as I retired in 2017 with 30 years teaching in NC. Loved teaching but testing and data management/number crunching had become more important than quality teaching. I started reselling on eBay in 1999 when listing was much harder without digital camera technology but it was a side hustle that proved to be my salvation and now I make 3 times my teaching salary on eBay & Poshmark. So enjoy more time with your family and let the side hustle be your mainstay. God Bless you & your family
Great job and im glad you took the leap, Like you said.. The opportunity is too strong for you to be able to not take that chance. You can always go back to just the same routine but you have support and your work ethic alone will get you far. Glad to know you and call you friend
I was there when you were a small fish in a big pond 🐟, now I'm here to see you become a big fish in a big pond. The only thing that keeps me working as an RN for 26 years is the benefits. If I could replace those, I might take the leap too. I know you'll be successful because you're smart, ethical and you have a great team (family), and because you have great hair!
"When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.” Edward Teller You will be fine!! You have a lot of support! Good luck with this new endeavor!
Congrats on your new journey. I found your channel a few months ago, you're my number one to watch. I'm 66 a mother of four and grandmother to 6 wonderful grand kiddos. I started selling on Ebay about 10 months ago to supplement my income with my retirement. You have inspired me in so many ways are far as selling, but most of all I love the way you involve your children and of course the wife too. I can tell you're a genuine family man, and that's what I love most about you. My children and grand kiddos are my life. It's amazing what God has given us each and every day. Good luck, and I can't wait to follow along on this journey with you and your beautiful family. God Bless You All!
So proud of you for taking the leap. I left my 20 year nursing career in February. It’s been such a tough adjustment. I didn’t have an established store as you do. We have managed to stay afloat by the skin of our teeth as I figure this out. You really touched on so many things that eBay gives that you just don’t get from working the 9-5 for someone else. Thank you for sharing this. I needed some inspiration today. I am working on building my brand and trying to have live sales but just not growing as I would like. But, change is good and important. So now today I will dust myself off and work a little harder to keep growing. Going back to that pressure is an option but it’s not an option. Success for us is in our future. Best wishes to you and your family. Enjoy your summer.
Dang..you almost made me cry in the beginning of this video. Congratulations on your new self employed status. You've been kicking butt already so I can't wait to see how beyond successful you are going to be now. A million well wishes to you and your gorgeous family in this exciting new adventure. 💜
Kevin, you are going to do great. You are a wonderful person, father, teacher, not only in the school setting but in life itself. I actually am very happy for you. You are going to rock the RUclips and eBay world. You kids are going to benefit so much from your decision. Take time to adjust to what you are embarking on and don’t expect things to go full speed quickly. You and your family are going to thrive with the decision you and your loved ones have made. I am going to do some praying for you and I will say it again, “you ROCK Kevin”. Good luck from your friend in Pennsylvania.
Holy cow !! Good for you guys! I retired from being a lawyer @ 58 1/2 after 25 years of criminal prosecution. Great job but stressful. So happy to have eBay as a stress release and you guys are so good at it! You will be awesome and your family is so supportive! You will be a great success. Blessings to you and your family!
Had to laugh when your wife said she wants you to have “Some” enjoyment. I’m thinking, but not too much. There are limits, let’s not go crazy. When I first retired, many years ago, my wife had similar concerns regarding my ability to slow down a bit. She voiced it as I had been running a crew of about 50 techs, budget, scheduling, travel, etc and was also a bit compulsive and now I would have only her and I to “manage”. So I retired and started a part time business, while she worked a part time job in town. Her job was as much as anything to give her social interaction and time separate from me. It’s a balance. No matter how much you like someone, some time apart, interacting with others is part of the needed balance.
Sounds like the beginning of a new chapter in your working partnership and verification of how much you are loved and cherished by your wife. Spending more time with her and your adorable children is invaluable.
Kevin, I know this was NOT an easy decision, but you know in your heart what is right for you and your family. I am newly retired after 30 years as a para-educator. My son wants to start reselling with me to see if WE can make it a full time adventure. Happy trails!!!!
The way I see it, a teacher is something you are, not just something you do. It’s always taken a special type of person to be a teacher, but especially the way things have changed in the last couple decades. My sister is a teacher, one of my friends is a teacher, her mom was a teacher before retiring... There’s a huge level of altruism involved because the pay isn’t great and lord knows that not only some of the students but the parents you have to deal with these days are a huge challenge. As much as any job, being a teacher is a calling, so stepping away from that is a huge deal. But, you’re right, it’s an opportunity you’d probably regret not pursuing. As successful as you have been at reselling part time, I have no doubt you’ll kill it full-time. I’ve been reselling for a bit over a year now and your videos have been a huge help to informing me and helping me improve. So, you’re still going to be teaching people, just not in the way you’d always thought you would. Best of luck!
You will do great, CP. You have that picker killer instinct. Life is too short to wonder "what if?" Congrats to you and your family on the big move. I'll be tuning in to watch everyday. A fellow friend from Northern California, Clay
The kids are going to miss out on what I can tell is a great teacher. I was an AP kid back in my day. But still, you’ve helped lots of lives along the way and you couldn’t teach forever anyway. Time to do for you. I hope you up the history lessons in your videos. Don’t let that knowledge go to waste.
Congratulations. Change is scary even when it is for the best. Give yourself & your family grace as you embark on this next chapter of your lives. I'm certain things will work out to your best advantage. Just remember that wealth is not defined by your bank account but rather by the joy in your heart. As long as your needs are met, roof over head, food in mouth, good health & love you are winning. Enjoy this transition.
Well done sir, you are blessed to have such a great family and I personally feel you will be extremely successful in this new phase of life. God bless and keep being such a great guy!
Congrats! Not only to you but to your family. An inspiration to all of us! You certainly could not have done this without the support of the ones around you. Well done my friend!
I'm so happy that you decided to take a leap of faith, with all the years of experience that you have you deserve it and I have no doubt that you will flourish even more. It's always a blessing to leave on your own terms!
It's such a great move for your family. My husband was off work for a year during covid on full pay , we went out to trails he listed some , it was a great time but now he is back at work. You are such a talented seller & a very hard working man . I wish you all the best x x x
Congrats on taking an opportunity to grow your business as a family and spend more time together. I’ve transitioned from a husband who traveled a lot to a husband that worked in the living room for a year and now a husband who retired and finding his own path to enjoying life!
Good for you Kevin. My wife really loved having me at home for part of the pandemic, and she often says she misses me being home. I'm currently a part time seller and have been selling on eBay since 1999. At some point I'd love to sell full time and leave my IT job. At this point in my life I don't love it like I once did and I won't miss my 1.5 hours of commuting daily either. Best wishes to you and your family in this new adventure. I'm sure it will be exciting.
Opportunity to grow your business as a family and the time you will be spending together is priceless. You will still be changing lives and you have a lot more history lessons to share with all of us. We are confident you will look back on your decision with no regrets and you will have a big smile on your face. Congratulations, wishing you and your family the best of everything :)
After teaching for 30 years, I’m retiring in January. I so understand where you are coming from. Congratulations. Enjoy this next chapter of your life.
I am so, so happy for you, but I am insanely happy for Blue Ridge Momma. I know how she feels. Having my hubby home last year during lockdown was incredible and I'd love for us to both be able to do eBay full-time and be together all the time. So excited for you all. No amount of money can replace being with your family. I think you're awesome for taking the leap. You've already made an impact on all of us watching. Oh, and I fully expect for you to throw in some more history lessons. Otherwise you might go crazy not sharing. Praying for tremendous success in your new journey. You've got this. You've got thousands and thousands of people cheering you on. Now, go knock it out of the park.
Congrats. I have watched you guys for a very long time. Have seen you grow and how you teach in each video. I know this has been in the back of your head for a while. This it was last year you stared to talk about it. Your a great teacher and many follow just to learn. So this is still a teaching job. Just will be in your own turf !! So keep up your wisdom and share with us all !!! God bless you and your family !!!
My corporate job got phased out over 10 years ago and I told my wife I was done working for other people. I was already selling on eBay full time so I just kept doing what I loved to do.
Me, t. Asst. for 28 years, special ed. Mostly high school. I've watched so many teachers with burn out, over it. The last 6 years watching teacher scroll thru her phone Facebook, shopping, 5 to 6 hours a day. Admin doesn't know or seem to care. Reality is they won't give up that retirement! Even though they seem bored and miserable they refuse to try something different. You are the exception. You'll be great! Lucky family.
I was a dance teacher in a top program in CT. They attempted to replicate the program that accepted all students regardless of interest in the arts. Teaching was like pulling teeth. Kids just didn’t want to sweat, or move or create! It was insane! What’s the point of specialization programs if a child is not willing to do the work? It was a major drag on those who would participate because dance is an ensemble skill. 😢
@@TheNesbittExperience Truest to the Core My granddaughter is in Dance 4 different styles in 2x a week Tap,ballet, hip hop and I guess reg dance and safe loves it at 5. So was my daughter. God Bless you it takes patience for sure totally understand
@@Kelly-nd3cz thanks for your reply, Kelly! I really appreciate it! Your granddaughter sounds amazing! My grandmother came to all my shows and she sat front and center! I miss her dearly! Thanks for sharing, Kelly! Be well. ☮️
What a tremendous blessing to be able to do what you love, spend more time with your family and reach people daily ❤️ I’m excited for you and all that will come from it! Thanks for letting us be a part of your amazing journey.
Congrats Commonwealth Family! Kevin- I love “opportunity cost” and you need to just walk thru that door…you got this! I’m excited for you and all that is coming your way. My honor to be able to watch you walk down that path…if it’s not meant to be God will put a detour on your path, you know this…GET MOVING! 😀😀 Have FUN… 😜🐳💰💰
Wow -- what a change ! Well done. We are in northern Virginia and I plan to keep my corporate job until I'm 50 -- then when the house is paid off, I might get out. So excited for you guys. Excellent.
You didn't??? CONGRATULATIONS 👏 👏 👏 You looked terribly conflicted. You can tell that this was a very tough decision for you because you truly love to teach, it just radiates from you. I know you will do well and enjoy being with the family. I'm very happy & excited for you all! Good luck! I know you will thrive!! Make sure to throw in some extra history on the channel to get your fill 😊
Congrats to you and the family! I quit my job of 19 years working with teens in foster care to get married and move to a different state. It was an adjustment!! You just have to find connections in different ways. You'll still have some kiddos stay in contact with you, which is always a pleasure! You have a great reseller eye, lots of charisma and I feel like I can see your work ethic blueridgemama talked about. Congrats again!
We're all cheering for you and your family. I am sure you can handle it. I turned 65 last November and am exiting my employment before the end of this year to do ebay, etc full time.
Wow Kevin, that is great news. Congratulations on your decision to become a full time reseller. You, your wife, and kids will make for a great team. Honestly I was wondering when you would do this full time. Timing is everything, and this is the right time. Love you all.
Oh my gosh! Had to stop 2 minutes in to this video before I get teary-eyed to say YAY!!! I’m so excited for you and your awesome family. Sending you all a ginormous amount of positive vibes!!
Wish they had multiple thumbs up buttons because I would push them all. I love the communication between you and your wife in this video and surrounding your decision. I pray God will richly bless you and your family in this time. Rev. Gill P.
My friend was a principal and she was stressed all the time it’s changed so much when I was a kid. She said dealing with the parents were worse then dealing with the children but she finally retired and she’s so much happier now I totally upset what you were going thru with teaching I think you are making the best choice and you will be happier
This is a great video for several reasons and one that was needed for people like me: love to see how you’re including your wife in this decision and allowing her to speak her mind concerning the decision, that you mention how she will be helping you as you transition, and how you speak brutally honest about what went into the decision. In the end what matters most is family…seems like I heard someone say that one time. Changing lives one video at a time!
Kevin and family ... my wife and I have been huge fans since very near the beginning. I am VERY happy for you and your entire family. ALL of you will benefit in so many ways from this. I am a big supporter of you decision and it shows how happy you are you did this. I retired three years ago, and have enjoyed most every minute of it. Congratulations.
Congrats Kevin/bubba i am 55 and have ben "going full time" for over 20 yrs so i get it friend and cuto's to you for doing something i have yet to be able to do but your story is very inspiring so stay tuned. TFS Friends!
I finally went searching this particular video out. I, too, was a teacher and made the decision many years ago to go out. Not for reselling, but to be with my kids. Now we homeschool, and I resell part time because of people like you, Kayla, John, and yes even Dave and Cary...🤣. I know this is old news now, but I just wanted to say a big kudos to you for following your dream and choosing what meant the most to you. I am sure that these last 2 years have been an amazing adventure, both scary at times and unbelievably fulfilling. You're right that we're not here long, and you're giving your kids time that they will cherish forever. Thanks for the continued teaching and excellent content, and continued best wishes to you and your sweet family!
Imagine all the amazing companies that wouldn’t exist if they hadn’t been brave enough to take the leap. I love you and your precious family, BTW I randomly tried to get an enaman and got one… yay!!!
Congrats!!!! I always thought you were joking! I'm at a point in my career/life where I need to make some serious decisions too!! I work in Finance. Compliance, regulations, debilitating and endless amounts of paperwork, meetings, zoom calls, conference calls, client service work, etc., etc are LITERALLY wearing me out as a human!!! My business has changed so much (and NOT in a good way) just in the last 5- years or so that it's INSANE!!! Anyway, I could go on for hours. Congrats on your decision!!!!!
Congratulations Kevin and family! So happy for all of you! Thank you for continuing to put out great content and for sharing your lives. Excited to see how things will get even better down the road ahead. God bless!
Oh how I want to do what you are doing! My husband and I both work in the education system. I don't make much being a preK teacher at a private school and my husband doesn't make much school bus driving and substitute teaching, but we make just enough to pay our bills. We plan to make some decisions in a couple of years when he can retire. On the other hand, I just told my husband that our school teachers are dropping like flies because they have so much put on them and not getting paid enough. Congrats on doing what you love! Life is too short! God bless you and your family!
Wishing many blessings to you and your family on your new journey. "Be bold" for we know who goes with us. Also, BRM is a great example. Behind every great man... 😊
Congrats, if you are anything like me, when I went full time, I was still jumping out of bed at 545am and usually way earlier, and putting in 18 hour days. Instead of driving to school, you'll be sourcing etc. Weekday garage sales are my fav. Enjoy.
So happy for you and you got to make a decision you and your family got to make together. You will be successful, no doubt. CONGRATS!!! Since you weren't able to say it without added drama, especially being a content creator...I will suggest it. In many professions within the past decade or so, things have become so politically divided and a social responsibility is no longer clearly understood as it was in generations gone by. Some of the traditional careers may not be as fulfilling as it was in the past, who knows. Especially in the schools as teachers are divided and it is taboo to speak about. I say that not to drum up conversation about it with anyone, but to set it out there so we all start to really think about how recent generations are changing and it may not be volitional. And that is much deeper in thought than to merely suggest that there is a ranking with generations, that's not the point.
I just finished this vid...and thought darn that a passionate dude...course I knew this...so I pulled out that dusty Funk & Wagner dictionary I keep around...and shoot they had CWP photo in definition..... I guess this means more History lesson from the Kevin, maybe a weekly thing to keep us thinking...you made the right decision I believe...
I'm at the age where we were raised to work, work, work until 62 and then retire. But I now have 3 nieces who are retiring this year. It's a very different time. If you can still live comfortably in all ways, then by all means, do what you enjoy doing. Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing.
Congratulations, Kevin! I wasn’t expecting this at all! First, you and you’re family will be fine given the history you have already with reselling and the RUclips channels. As your wife said, you have a great work ethic and that will set you up for continued success. Second, your family’s support will definitely make the road smoother as you adjust to these changes. I retired 6 years ago after spending 35 years helping others plan and save for retirement. Having family support, setting goals, a great work ethic, and the right attitude will give you the success you need and want. While worrying about if you’ll have enough money to live your life is a natural thing, I found from most of my clients that the most troubling aspect of “retiring” was having to spend 24 hours with their spouse each day! LOL! After about 6 months, one of them had to go! I think you’ve got that one covered. Again, congratulations on your life changing decision. I hope to continue to learn from you going forward as I approach the end of my first year as a reseller!
I was just about to ask about retirement instead of quitting, then you mentioned it, which was a relief. Now that you have more time devoted to resale, are you going to do more thrift store hunting? Also, if you don't already, look on fb marketplace, Varagesale and other sites/apps. I've found good deals on those and made a decent profit.
It's obvious what a difficult decision this has been. I appreciate that you included the whole family in It's resolution. I'm sure you'll do well. I expect that when Sept. rolls around there will be more "I wonder if" moments. Forge forward. Congratulations and best wishes on this next chapter. P.S. check with your auto insurance. With driving that much less you may be able to lower your premiums.
I am so excited for you and your family. I must admit I am a little shocked. I really didn't think you would go full time. I have watched your channel for a long time and have learned so much. Even though you are not in a classroom anymore you continue to teach us new things through your RUclips channel. God Bless.
I know this was very hard and emotional decision to make. As a long time fan and supporter of the channel, I know 100% that you made the right choice. I’m so excited for you and the family to take on this new chapter in life. Congrats Kevin!
That means a lot coMing from you. I appreciate your support more than you know.
Right on Matt!
Matt is a boss and Kevin is in his own way too!
Matt when’s your retirement vid dropping?!? 😂
Hey Matt I’ve been watching you since your beginning! So happy for you doing well still I see😁😁
Hey Kevin, my husband and I are full-time resellers since Sept 2020. We are also a homeschooling family of history buffs, and our sons have their own ebay store. So, we have a lot in common. We were part-time resellers before this, my husband quit his job and has had zero regrets. We've been watching forever, as subscribers, we just never comment. CONGRATS!!
Only sad thing I see is the school is loosing a GREAT TEACHER. However you are literally teaching on every video I know I learn.
I too taught History/Geography in secondary ed. Coached three sports for 12 years. Stopped teaching in 2005 to care for my wife, and build homes. I enjoyed this part of my life until my wife passed away. I went back and taught the extra 4 years for retirement. I would never regret the years I was able to spend with my wife before she passed away. Good luck Kevin. Keep the faith brother.
Often after these videos, I have the same thought, "Kevin is a good man." A rarity in these times. Thank you for including us in your journey.
Ebay isn't going to disappear. Even if it did, another company would come along to replace it. On line re-selling will be here forever.
Willy565 Don't count on that. Anything can happen
I agree eBay will be here people want change I have not had a vacation in years yeah people want change
Hi Friends,
This is Kim from RK Treasure Center.I watched the whole video and got a little choked up at the end as I totally get it. I left my nursing career after 19 years and while it was such a good decision… at the same time I shed tears. You guys are an amazing strong family who will do great things! Your channel has blessed many and will continue to do so. Wonderful and great things are to come.
God bless your sweet family
Kim
“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. “- J.M. Barrie
What a great quote. Thank you Kim. You two are amazing.
Good luck on your new path! You've just added 10 years to your life.
truth
I couldn't agree more BK!!
This is fantastic news!!
The most important thing in this video is his relationship with his wife. His wife said it... "I know you..." My wife blesses me and my business everyday and believes in me. I believe failure is not an option when we have a positive spouse in our corner. God Bless man on the next chapter.
To quote Dr. Seuss “Oh, the things you can do that are good for you.” I’m confident that when you closed one door a much wider door opens for you. You’re a wonderful teacher but you are also a great reseller! You got this! Good luck to you & your family. From A Fellow Retired Educator
Good for you Kevin. There is no reward greater than the one we give up for our family and taking a risk. You have a enormous amount of stamina, energy and a knowledgeable sense of what sells. I gave up a high paying position to raise my Grandaughter. She is now in Medical school. I missed my income so I taught myself to sew and started making children’s outfits. Started selling on eBay and the last outfit I made went for 1000. My father had passed but I could here him saying don’t give up Mary keep going. no so I did. You will be successful. Change is hard but also exciting. Congratulations Kevin.
No regrets, you will do awesome. I have learned so much from you. Your family is beautiful and you have hair, lol, I don't believe I have seen you without a hat. Take care Kevin and blessings from So. Cal.
I went through the same dilemma 4yrs ago. I used to just take the safe road, had great paying job and large sum in the bank but was bored and unhappy. I felt like I was watching my life pass before me and finally decided I am going to quit and find something for myself. I started off buying a second house doing the work and flipping it, I found that while I liked it I didn't have a reliable contractor so it wasn't for me. I sold the flip house for a profit, from that point on I have spent the last 3yrs reselling and have loved it ever since. My wife has been incredibly supportive, she was a bit concerned at the start as she is not much of a risk taker but I couldn't do this without her support.
Awesome. For me i work 48 hrs a week for now. Just started a few months ago. Once everything gets to a certain point and takes off and debt paid down.. itll be time for me to go full Monty. Great info tho.
@@semperfi-1918 Sounds great, best of luck to you.
Congrats Kevin and Heather!! We are so happy for you guys! && What a great video hearing the family’s perspective. You guys deserve this extra time together! - PS selfishly excited to hear H say she is looking forward to garage sales! Holding her to it next time!
I’m with the kids and your wife…I’ll get to see you more now. 😘 You make my day. Seriously.
I'm not crying, you're crying! Darn allergies... aww Blue Ridge Mama likes having you around after all these years 🙂 It's always been obvious that she's supportive of, and a big part of, the reselling business. So her support of this particular decision doesn't surprise me. Pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but I homeschooled both of my kids, too. We loved it! My husband owned his own business most of that time, so our schedule was pretty open and allowed us to go wherever we wanted. I'm so excited for you guys! Now I've seen the other Kevin (TN Picker) go full time, Candice quit her job to work with Lonnie, Edin and Melinda both quit to go full time, and just last week Haley quit her job to work with Josh. I'm sure there are others, but those are the first to come to mind. I can't wait to see where the journey leads... ❤️
Congratulations!!! Love Regan’s answer. 😂😂 Don’t give up teaching. Just start another channel Commonwealth History!! Do skill share! I’ll sign up for your class. Congratulations again!
Excellent idea. Can I join the class?
I was just about to say this, maybe teach us all some history as you pick??
Retired educator here. I respect your decision to take this opportunity, especially the way school climate is these days. Blessings on your new adventure.
Congratulations Kevin. How You Can Teach Use Some History When You Go Thrifting!
Who’s cutting onions ?? Lol. Thanks for all YOU and your family do. We are called to be bold and you are living that. On a different note, I researched an item I’m selling and looked under sold items and Lo and Behold! You sold the exact same item so you give others confidence that we can do it too. We are retiring soon and hope to do ebay full time after. Good luck and God bless you and your family ! It’s gonna be awesome !!!
I choked up watching you choke up. I just finished year 14. In Louisiana if I make it to 20 year retirement, I will continue to get same insurance benefits for rest of my life so I pretty much need to make it that far but I have considered doing what you are doing for same reasons you talked about. Congratulations on this new journey!
Kevin...I know how difficult this decision was for you. My husband was a teacher for 25 years before becoming physically disabled from a brain aneurysm. All he wanted to do was get back to the classroom. I know the deep connection you have with the kids...I saw this in my husband every day. My hubby passed away a few years ago...a generous soul taken too soon. Teaching was his passion. I am very happy for you that you are pursuing another passion that you are so good at. I enjoy all your videos...I don't comment often but I always give a thumbs up. Congratulations!
thank you. So sorry for the loss of your husband
You need a simple plaque that says 2-17-2021 13:37 for the shed.
I love that Idea
I left my education job in 2018 to do this, too. I was truly blessed to work with the kids and do the job that I was doing. While we faced a lot of changes, we embraced the opportunity to recreate ourselves. I LOVED teaching and being a superintendent. But, the opportunity to work at home with my wife and have control of my schedule, was too great to pass up. Y'all are in my prayers as you begin the next chapter of your lives!
Thanks so much
I was a teacher for 27 years (History teacher, Athletic Director, Coach) and last year was my last year of teaching to go selling full-time. A little scary but it was worth it and you will not regret this decision. I miss the students and the excitement of a high school but love the hustle I get to do daily. By the way I also hate the idea of teaching English and never did it once in 27 years.
I appreciate your journey and I thank you for allowing us to be with you along the way. You will never regret this decision and I speak from experience as I retired in 2017 with 30 years teaching in NC. Loved teaching but testing and data management/number crunching had become more important than quality teaching. I started reselling on eBay in 1999 when listing was much harder without digital camera technology but it was a side hustle that proved to be my salvation and now I make 3 times my teaching salary on eBay & Poshmark. So enjoy more time with your family and let the side hustle be your mainstay. God Bless you & your family
Thank you so much for the kindness and for the support
Great job and im glad you took the leap, Like you said.. The opportunity is too strong for you to be able to not take that chance. You can always go back to just the same routine but you have support and your work ethic alone will get you far. Glad to know you and call you friend
Amen to the. You hit the nail on the head my friend.
I was there when you were a small fish in a big pond 🐟, now I'm here to see you become a big fish in a big pond. The only thing that keeps me working as an RN for 26 years is the benefits. If I could replace those, I might take the leap too. I know you'll be successful because you're smart, ethical and you have a great team (family), and because you have great hair!
"When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.” Edward Teller You will be fine!! You have a lot of support! Good luck with this new endeavor!
That’s awesome. Thank you.
Congrats on your new journey. I found your channel a few months ago, you're my number one to watch. I'm 66 a mother of four and grandmother to 6 wonderful grand kiddos. I started selling on Ebay about 10 months ago to supplement my income with my retirement. You have inspired me in so many ways are far as selling, but most of all I love the way you involve your children and of course the wife too. I can tell you're a genuine family man, and that's what I love most about you.
My children and grand kiddos are my life.
It's amazing what God has given us each and every day. Good luck, and I can't wait to follow along on this journey with you and your beautiful family. God Bless You All!
Amen. Thanks so much for the kind words
Get that boy a frosty and fries. I love to dip my fries in my frosty.
I am just watching now....gonna say before I watch...I hope you never give up teaching
So proud of you for taking the leap. I left my 20 year nursing career in February. It’s been such a tough adjustment. I didn’t have an established store as you do. We have managed to stay afloat by the skin of our teeth as I figure this out. You really touched on so many things that eBay gives that you just don’t get from working the 9-5 for someone else. Thank you for sharing this. I needed some inspiration today. I am working on building my brand and trying to have live sales but just not growing as I would like. But, change is good and important. So now today I will dust myself off and work a little harder to keep growing. Going back to that pressure is an option but it’s not an option. Success for us is in our future. Best wishes to you and your family. Enjoy your summer.
Me too, but I was just a waiter. I love self employment, Ebay, and RUclips. Let's gooooooooo!
Dang..you almost made me cry in the beginning of this video. Congratulations on your new self employed status. You've been kicking butt already so I can't wait to see how beyond successful you are going to be now. A million well wishes to you and your gorgeous family in this exciting new adventure. 💜
Kevin, you are going to do great. You are a wonderful person, father, teacher, not only in the school setting but in life itself. I actually am very happy for you. You are going to rock the RUclips and eBay world. You kids are going to benefit so much from your decision. Take time to adjust to what you are embarking on and don’t expect things to go full speed quickly. You and your family are going to thrive with the decision you and your loved ones have made. I am going to do some praying for you and I will say it again, “you ROCK Kevin”. Good luck from your friend in Pennsylvania.
Congratulations Kevin! You deserve this. We are all going on this journey with you. ✌🎉
Holy cow !! Good for you guys! I retired from being a lawyer @ 58 1/2 after 25 years of criminal prosecution. Great job but stressful. So happy to have eBay as a stress release and you guys are so good at it! You will be awesome and your family is so supportive! You will be a great success. Blessings to you and your family!
thank you very much for the kind words.
Had to laugh when your wife said she wants you to have “Some” enjoyment. I’m thinking, but not too much. There are limits, let’s not go crazy. When I first retired, many years ago, my wife had similar concerns regarding my ability to slow down a bit. She voiced it as I had been running a crew of about 50 techs, budget, scheduling, travel, etc and was also a bit compulsive and now I would have only her and I to “manage”. So I retired and started a part time business, while she worked a part time job in town. Her job was as much as anything to give her social interaction and time separate from me. It’s a balance. No matter how much you like someone, some time apart, interacting with others is part of the needed balance.
Sounds like the beginning of a new chapter in your working partnership and verification of how much you are loved and cherished by your wife. Spending more time with her and your adorable children is invaluable.
Thank you
Kevin, I know this was NOT an easy decision, but you know in your heart what is right for you and your family. I am newly retired after 30 years as a para-educator. My son wants to start reselling with me to see if WE can make it a full time adventure. Happy trails!!!!
The way I see it, a teacher is something you are, not just something you do. It’s always taken a special type of person to be a teacher, but especially the way things have changed in the last couple decades. My sister is a teacher, one of my friends is a teacher, her mom was a teacher before retiring... There’s a huge level of altruism involved because the pay isn’t great and lord knows that not only some of the students but the parents you have to deal with these days are a huge challenge. As much as any job, being a teacher is a calling, so stepping away from that is a huge deal. But, you’re right, it’s an opportunity you’d probably regret not pursuing. As successful as you have been at reselling part time, I have no doubt you’ll kill it full-time. I’ve been reselling for a bit over a year now and your videos have been a huge help to informing me and helping me improve. So, you’re still going to be teaching people, just not in the way you’d always thought you would. Best of luck!
You will do great, CP. You have that picker killer instinct. Life is too short to wonder "what if?" Congrats to you and your family on the big move. I'll be tuning in to watch everyday.
A fellow friend from Northern California,
Clay
CONGRATULATIONS! You will never regret spending time with those you love!!
The kids are going to miss out on what I can tell is a great teacher. I was an AP kid back in my day. But still, you’ve helped lots of lives along the way and you couldn’t teach forever anyway. Time to do for you. I hope you up the history lessons in your videos. Don’t let that knowledge go to waste.
Congratulations.
Change is scary even when it is for the best.
Give yourself & your family grace as you embark on this next chapter of your lives.
I'm certain things will work out to your best advantage.
Just remember that wealth is not defined by your bank account but rather by the joy in your heart.
As long as your needs are met, roof over head, food in mouth, good health & love you are winning.
Enjoy this transition.
Amen to that
Well done sir, you are blessed to have such a great family and I personally feel you will be extremely successful in this new phase of life. God bless and keep being such a great guy!
So nice of you
Congrats! Not only to you but to your family. An inspiration to all of us! You certainly could not have done this without the support of the ones around you. Well done my friend!
I'm so happy that you decided to take a leap of faith, with all the years of experience that you have you deserve it and I have no doubt that you will flourish even more. It's always a blessing to leave on your own terms!
Best of luck for your brave and adventurous decision. I'm certain you'll flourish! Congratulations.
It's such a great move for your family. My husband was off work for a year during covid on full pay , we went out to trails he listed some , it was a great time but now he is back at work. You are such a talented seller & a very hard working man . I wish you all the best x x x
Congrats on taking an opportunity to grow your business as a family and spend more time together. I’ve transitioned from a husband who traveled a lot to a husband that worked in the living room for a year and now a husband who retired and finding his own path to enjoying life!
nice. Congrats to you as well
I just did the same thing today!! Congrats to you bro!
Good for you Kevin. My wife really loved having me at home for part of the pandemic, and she often says she misses me being home. I'm currently a part time seller and have been selling on eBay since 1999. At some point I'd love to sell full time and leave my IT job. At this point in my life I don't love it like I once did and I won't miss my 1.5 hours of commuting daily either. Best wishes to you and your family in this new adventure. I'm sure it will be exciting.
Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes details of your decision with us. Continued success and best wishes!
Thanks so much. I appreciate you and wish you much success.
Opportunity to grow your business as a family and the time you will be spending together is priceless. You will still be changing lives and you have a lot more history lessons to share with all of us. We are confident you will look back on your decision with no regrets and you will have a big smile on your face. Congratulations, wishing you and your family the best of everything :)
After teaching for 30 years, I’m retiring in January. I so understand where you are coming from. Congratulations. Enjoy this next chapter of your life.
Congrats to you.
I am so, so happy for you, but I am insanely happy for Blue Ridge Momma. I know how she feels. Having my hubby home last year during lockdown was incredible and I'd love for us to both be able to do eBay full-time and be together all the time. So excited for you all. No amount of money can replace being with your family. I think you're awesome for taking the leap. You've already made an impact on all of us watching. Oh, and I fully expect for you to throw in some more history lessons. Otherwise you might go crazy not sharing. Praying for tremendous success in your new journey. You've got this. You've got thousands and thousands of people cheering you on. Now, go knock it out of the park.
Congrats. I have watched you guys for a very long time. Have seen you grow and how you teach in each video. I know this has been in the back of your head for a while. This it was last year you stared to talk about it. Your a great teacher and many follow just to learn. So this is still a teaching job. Just will be in your own turf !! So keep up your wisdom and share with us all !!! God bless you and your family !!!
My corporate job got phased out over 10 years ago and I told my wife I was done working for other people. I was already selling on eBay full time so I just kept doing what I loved to do.
Me, t. Asst. for 28 years, special ed. Mostly high school. I've watched so many teachers with burn out, over it. The last 6 years watching teacher scroll thru her phone Facebook, shopping, 5 to 6 hours a day. Admin doesn't know or seem to care. Reality is they won't give up that retirement! Even though they seem bored and miserable they refuse to try something different. You are the exception. You'll be great! Lucky family.
I was a dance teacher in a top program in CT. They attempted to replicate the program that accepted all students regardless of interest in the arts. Teaching was like pulling teeth. Kids just didn’t want to sweat, or move or create! It was insane! What’s the point of specialization programs if a child is not willing to do the work? It was a major drag on those who would participate because dance is an ensemble skill. 😢
@@TheNesbittExperience Truest to the Core My granddaughter is in Dance 4 different styles in 2x a week Tap,ballet, hip hop and I guess reg dance and safe loves it at 5. So was my daughter. God Bless you it takes patience for sure totally understand
@@Kelly-nd3cz thanks for your reply, Kelly! I really appreciate it! Your granddaughter sounds amazing! My grandmother came to all my shows and she sat front and center! I miss her dearly! Thanks for sharing, Kelly! Be well. ☮️
What a tremendous blessing to be able to do what you love, spend more time with your family and reach people daily ❤️ I’m excited for you and all that will come from it! Thanks for letting us be a part of your amazing journey.
Congrats Commonwealth Family!
Kevin- I love “opportunity cost” and you need to just walk thru that door…you got this!
I’m excited for you and all that is coming your way. My honor to be able to watch you walk down that path…if it’s not meant to be God will put a detour on your path, you know this…GET MOVING! 😀😀
Have FUN… 😜🐳💰💰
Wow -- what a change ! Well done. We are in northern Virginia and I plan to keep my corporate job until I'm 50 -- then when the house is paid off, I might get out. So excited for you guys. Excellent.
You didn't??? CONGRATULATIONS 👏 👏 👏 You looked terribly conflicted. You can tell that this was a very tough decision for you because you truly love to teach, it just radiates from you. I know you will do well and enjoy being with the family. I'm very happy & excited for you all! Good luck! I know you will thrive!! Make sure to throw in some extra history on the channel to get your fill 😊
Yes! Thank you!
Congrats to you and the family! I quit my job of 19 years working with teens in foster care to get married and move to a different state. It was an adjustment!! You just have to find connections in different ways. You'll still have some kiddos stay in contact with you, which is always a pleasure! You have a great reseller eye, lots of charisma and I feel like I can see your work ethic blueridgemama talked about. Congrats again!
thank you very much for the kind words.
Most people regret the things they did not try. No regrets, Kevin.
We're all cheering for you and your family. I am sure you can handle it. I turned 65 last November and am exiting my employment before the end of this year to do ebay, etc full time.
Wow Kevin, that is great news. Congratulations on your decision to become a full time reseller. You, your wife, and kids will make for a great team. Honestly I was wondering when you would do this full time. Timing is everything, and this is the right time. Love you all.
Ok watching now....glad you are doing this...it is best for your family. I’m sad for the students that don’t get you as a teacher....
Oh my gosh! Had to stop 2 minutes in to this video before I get teary-eyed to say YAY!!! I’m so excited for you and your awesome family. Sending you all a ginormous amount of positive vibes!!
Thank you very much
I did the exact same thing!!
Wish they had multiple thumbs up buttons because I would push them all. I love the communication between you and your wife in this video and surrounding your decision. I pray God will richly bless you and your family in this time. Rev. Gill P.
Thank you very much Gill
My friend was a principal and she was stressed all the time it’s changed so much when I was a kid. She said dealing with the parents were worse then dealing with the children but she finally retired and she’s so much happier now I totally upset what you were going thru with teaching I think you are making the best choice and you will be happier
You are a man of your word. You said when you reached a certain number of subscribers you would go full time. Respect.
LOL I suppose. I never really thought that would happen though.
This is a great video for several reasons and one that was needed for people like me: love to see how you’re including your wife in this decision and allowing her to speak her mind concerning the decision, that you mention how she will be helping you as you transition, and how you speak brutally honest about what went into the decision. In the end what matters most is family…seems like I heard someone say that one time. Changing lives one video at a time!
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Kevin and family ... my wife and I have been huge fans since very near the beginning. I am VERY happy for you and your entire family. ALL of you will benefit in so many ways from this. I am a big supporter of you decision and it shows how happy you are you did this. I retired three years ago, and have enjoyed most every minute of it. Congratulations.
thank you very much for the kind words.
This is Fantastic News!!! Mathew McConaughey would have done the same thing 🤣🤣
Congratulations Kevin your going to be alright your a great person great family big heart ❤️
Congrats Kevin/bubba i am 55 and have ben "going full time" for over 20 yrs so i get it friend and cuto's to you for doing something i have yet to be able to do but your story is very inspiring so stay tuned. TFS Friends!
Thank you very much MrSadie
I finally went searching this particular video out. I, too, was a teacher and made the decision many years ago to go out. Not for reselling, but to be with my kids. Now we homeschool, and I resell part time because of people like you, Kayla, John, and yes even Dave and Cary...🤣. I know this is old news now, but I just wanted to say a big kudos to you for following your dream and choosing what meant the most to you. I am sure that these last 2 years have been an amazing adventure, both scary at times and unbelievably fulfilling. You're right that we're not here long, and you're giving your kids time that they will cherish forever. Thanks for the continued teaching and excellent content, and continued best wishes to you and your sweet family!
Imagine all the amazing companies that wouldn’t exist if they hadn’t been brave enough to take the leap. I love you and your precious family, BTW I randomly tried to get an enaman and got one… yay!!!
Awesome. Congrats.
Congrats!!!! I always thought you were joking! I'm at a point in my career/life where I need to make some serious decisions too!! I work in Finance. Compliance, regulations, debilitating and endless amounts of paperwork, meetings, zoom calls, conference calls, client service work, etc., etc are LITERALLY wearing me out as a human!!! My business has changed so much (and NOT in a good way) just in the last 5- years or so that it's INSANE!!! Anyway, I could go on for hours. Congrats on your decision!!!!!
Congratulations Kevin and family! So happy for all of you! Thank you for continuing to put out great content and for sharing your lives. Excited to see how things will get even better down the road ahead. God bless!
Oh how I want to do what you are doing! My husband and I both work in the education system. I don't make much being a preK teacher at a private school and my husband doesn't make much school bus driving and substitute teaching, but we make just enough to pay our bills. We plan to make some decisions in a couple of years when he can retire. On the other hand, I just told my husband that our school teachers are dropping like flies because they have so much put on them and not getting paid enough. Congrats on doing what you love! Life is too short! God bless you and your family!
Wishing many blessings to you and your family on your new journey. "Be bold" for we know who goes with us. Also, BRM is a great example. Behind every great man... 😊
You got this Kevin.....no worries. I couldn't do that.......oh wait I did. Welcome to the full time pickers club my friend. 😁👍.
Thanks 👍 Thanks for always being with us R and K
I cant wait to go on this adventure with you and your family! Congrats Kevin! You made a difficult decision and I am excited for you. ❤❤❤😀😀
Congrats, if you are anything like me, when I went full time, I was still jumping out of bed at 545am and usually way earlier, and putting in 18 hour days. Instead of driving to school, you'll be sourcing etc. Weekday garage sales are my fav. Enjoy.
Congrats Kevin and family, Welcome to FUN-Employment!
I love that. I am newly retired and going to start reselling with my adult son. FUN-employment it is.
Well, they say that if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.
All the very best with the change. With your family, friends and us all behind you, this will be a great new chapter.
So happy for you and you got to make a decision you and your family got to make together. You will be successful, no doubt. CONGRATS!!!
Since you weren't able to say it without added drama, especially being a content creator...I will suggest it. In many professions within the past decade or so, things have become so politically divided and a social responsibility is no longer clearly understood as it was in generations gone by. Some of the traditional careers may not be as fulfilling as it was in the past, who knows. Especially in the schools as teachers are divided and it is taboo to speak about. I say that not to drum up conversation about it with anyone, but to set it out there so we all start to really think about how recent generations are changing and it may not be volitional. And that is much deeper in thought than to merely suggest that there is a ranking with generations, that's not the point.
Great news , your a wonderful guy Kevin , and a lovely family , you only live once xx 😘
I just finished this vid...and thought darn that a passionate dude...course I knew this...so I pulled out that dusty Funk & Wagner dictionary I keep around...and shoot they had CWP photo in definition.....
I guess this means more History lesson from the Kevin, maybe a weekly thing to keep us thinking...you made the right decision I believe...
Thank you Big Jim
I'm at the age where we were raised to work, work, work until 62 and then retire. But I now have 3 nieces who are retiring this year. It's a very different time. If you can still live comfortably in all ways, then by all means, do what you enjoy doing. Best of luck to you and thanks for sharing.
Congratulations, Kevin! I wasn’t expecting this at all! First, you and you’re family will be fine given the history you have already with reselling and the RUclips channels. As your wife said, you have a great work ethic and that will set you up for continued success. Second, your family’s support will definitely make the road smoother as you adjust to these changes. I retired 6 years ago after spending 35 years helping others plan and save for retirement. Having family support, setting goals, a great work ethic, and the right attitude will give you the success you need and want. While worrying about if you’ll have enough money to live your life is a natural thing, I found from most of my clients that the most troubling aspect of “retiring” was having to spend 24 hours with their spouse each day! LOL! After about 6 months, one of them had to go! I think you’ve got that one covered. Again, congratulations on your life changing decision. I hope to continue to learn from you going forward as I approach the end of my first year as a reseller!
Congrats Kevin, I know it was a hard decision, but you guys will do awesome. I'm so happy for y'all 👍🤙🙂
Your next big guy. Just need 3 or 5 more videos to hit. Your wife is a hidden gem by the way. She is awesome.
I was just about to ask about retirement instead of quitting, then you mentioned it, which was a relief.
Now that you have more time devoted to resale, are you going to do more thrift store hunting? Also, if you don't already, look on fb marketplace, Varagesale and other sites/apps. I've found good deals on those and made a decent profit.
I am sure we will
Yesss to a supportive wife! Congratulations, wishing you guys continuous blessings ♥️♥️
Thank you so much for the kindness and for the support
It's obvious what a difficult decision this has been. I appreciate that you included the whole family in It's resolution. I'm sure you'll do well. I expect that when Sept. rolls around there will be more "I wonder if" moments. Forge forward. Congratulations and best wishes on this next chapter. P.S. check with your auto insurance. With driving that much less you may be able to lower your premiums.
I am so excited for you and your family. I must admit I am a little shocked. I really didn't think you would go full time. I have watched your channel for a long time and have learned so much. Even though you are not in a classroom anymore you continue to teach us new things through your RUclips channel. God Bless.
