[quote=Anonymous]Wait! Let me correct myself!

typo!  At our current stage, we could retire with a combined pension of $120K/year.  It all depends on our three highest years.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe brush up on your grammar over the break.[/quote]

I'm not one to point out such obnoxious, obvious errors, but I have to agree with you. Also OP, most people in the dc area make six figures and pay people to clean out their fridge, to actually have free time. I wouldn't brag too much.[/quote]

And they 1) pay out the ass to have some camp babysit their kids from mid-June through August and 2) pay out the ass to have some before and after care company watch their kids during the school year.

There are trade offs.  My husband and I are both teachers.  He has a resource position and works 20 days over the summer.  We do share a nanny for the mornings (with friends) but are home before the buses.  Plus, we're off spring and winter breaks.

Healthcare is awesome.  I pay $10 for a ped visit and virtually nothing for dental.  And we'll end up retiring - combined - at about $160k (or more) per year.  That means that if we want to work a PT job, we can make more money!

It's not about how much you make; it's about quality of life and living w/in your means.

I want my kids to know me and my husband, and in this profession, while's it's very demanding, we're BOTH available.

And where's the shame in cleaning out one's refrigerator?  I'll be doing that later on today . . . b/c I have the time.  And we do have a maid service every two weeks during the school year.  (don't need them during the summer) So don't think all teachers are paupers.

Time to end the snark, folks!  Some of us are very good at what we do and we enjoy the job and the perks!

You can have your half million (or more) and absentee parent(s).  Kids remember their childhoods.  I would like to be part of that memory.[/quote][/quote]
