After several years of teaching and coaching, Frances and Jake began to have doubts about the direction their financial future might take them.
The Halter's were unable to find consolation in the fact that they would soon be joining their colleagues in retirement as they rejoiced with their colleagues.
Jake transferred his emphasis to real estate in the hopes of achieving financial independence, while Frances continued to work in the classroom.
Because to the market's collapse, the Halter family found themselves surviving on the pay of a single teacher for a while.
"It was a difficult moment for us," Frances recalled. Jake didn't hesitate to answer the phone when a buddy of his inquired about the possibility of forming a partnership.
"When do we get started?" Jake said without hesitation.
Despite the fact that the Halters were newcomers to the area, they adopted the mantra "Have car, will travel" to guide them. After only 18 months in business, they were earning the same amount that they had earned as instructors. But, maybe most importantly, they were having a good time.
The Emerald and Diamond jackpots were won after four and a half years in the business and all in the same year.
"I can't help but wonder what our life would have been like if we had both stayed in the teaching profession...
For starters, our teachers' retirement cheques wouldn't even be enough to cover our golfing expenses today."
