Adam is a bus driver in Freemont City, Nevada. He works the morning shift from 5:30 to 1:30. His bus route is Route 26, which runs east and west along Emerson Street. His route is busy, but it is in a nice part of town.
Adam likes his job because he gets off work early. He works four hours on Saturdays, but he is off on Sundays. He usually spends Sundays with his family.
Next year, Adam will turn 62 and he can retire. His wife wants him to work for another three years because in three years their house will be paid off. Their bills will be* much lower then. Adam has worked hard for the past 30 years, and he wants to retire as soon as possible. He’s not worried about money.
What should Adam do?
