We are in testing mode at school this week...very big deal, and I was assigned to assist the 6th grade math teacher in the testing. He began talking to me about our incomes, and revealed he is a father of three on single income, wife staying home with the children, saying how hard it is for them to manage. WV is 47th in teacher pay, and though he has an MA+30, it is near impossible for them to buy clothing and food monthly.
I'm trying to be more aware of what I'm spending from now on! Gas just skyrocketed in price here!
