[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I are both teachers.  I don't consider us low earners at all, actually, but DCUM might.  Our salaries are good, [b]the health insurance is cheap[/b], our retirement money is awesome, and we have lots of time off and we do meaningful work with students and families that we care deeply about.

My husband doesn't regret his career, but there are some days that I do.  Not because of the salary.  We have everything we need and nearly everything we want.  (Though we are both people who don't want much.)  When I am feeling regretful, it is because of things like heavy over testing, lack of play, developmentally inappropriate everything,student and parent behaviors have been a lot.

This past fall I would come home, cry or pass out for the night by 7 p.m.,or spend the night scanning for a new job and applying anywhere and everywhere.  I truly thought I was just going to walk out mid year, this late in my career.  Things have gotten better, though.  I'm hoping I can hang in until retirement.  [/quote]

How cheap is "cheap"?  Just curious.[/quote]
