I also notice OP seemed to imply that her sisters have only themselves to blame for not having as much money because one is a school teacher and [b]the other became a SAHM after getting a graduate degree[/b]. I am a working mom and I make more than school teachers do, but I can't imagine talking about family members this way. I have teachers in my family and I have such admiration for what they do -- I brag on them all the time because I think it's so great they've decided to use their talents and effort in this way. And I also have SAHMs in my family and know they work hard and that choice was generally driven by a real love of being a mom and desire to do right by their kids. Just because society doesn't reward these endeavors the same way it rewards a corporate accountant is not something to act superior about.

And I say that as someone with a well-paying, corporate job who has a sister who is a SAHM and who complains about money. We don't have an amazing relationship for other reasons, but I would never talk sh*t about her choice to be a SAHM. She is a great mom.[/quote]

Did I miss the reference to the non-teacher having a master's?

As for teacher, why do we act like teachers are all in the poor house? Unless you really want to be a lifelong teacher, it's easy to job hop into administration and make $100k to $300k a year. Even if you don't enter admin ladder, a veteran teacher makes over $100k a year including fringe plus a great pension.[/quote]
