[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]66k is not much once pension, healthcare, fed/state/Moco taxes, and (optional but not really) union dues are taken out. [b]Don’t forget all the stuff teachers typically have to buy for their classrooms or to reward kids these days.[/b] You are looking at about $4k a month in takehome income with no money from July to mid-September. Most unmarried teachers live paycheck to paycheck. That needs to cover housing (good luck!) student loans, food, etc. When we do the math with high school students in class, everyone basically calculates that $80k is really the wage needed to live MoCo to account for all major and typical expenses.[/quote] Buying stuff for the classroom is a personal choice. If you can’t afford it, stop doing it.[/quote]
