Ya, for Texas 43k is middle class I suppose. Its not impressing anybody but Texas is a lot cheaper to live in than some areas so its ok. As for my exit plan, my wife has already put me on her insurance so I will be covered for medical, dental, etc. When I leave my vacation and back pay should be enough to pay off my car so that will drop a bill. Fortunately my wife makes enough so we can cover the house note on her salary. She makes quite a bit more that I do so while we will feel the pinch it won't break us. I'm hoping with the new career to have more control over my destiny. At my current job no matter how hard I work or the hours I put in, I'll never see a real salary increase and I'll dread going in every day. Advertising can really suck out your soul and piddle on it. With the new career I think I can find some satisfaction in helping people live healthier lives plus maybe one day I can start my own business. At least I can muster some excitment for it as opposed to the dread I feel now.
