Thank you so much for this! I’m on the train home after teaching kids all day and this post has sooooo brightened me up with its childlike naivety.
HJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
I have no idea what you are laughing at. You spent all your post laughing and saying something unclear about "childlike naivety", but you didn't explain your point.
But nevermind that. I actually have a bigger, more important point that YOU AS A TEACHER should sit up and pay attention to.
Teachers are the 3rd most likely career choice for people who will one day become...wait for it...
Millionaires.
The top 5 careers of millionaires are: Engineer, Accountant, Teacher, Management, and Attorney. But there are lots of others in that mix too.
No fooling. So as a teacher, you don't need my pity. You don't need my "oh woe is you, you do such a hard job, blah blah blah." Dude, if you're making the most of your opportunities, you're gonna be fine. 😁
I highly recommend a book called "Everyday Millionaires" by Chris Hogan. They did the largest study ever of millionaires in the US; having interviewed and compiled statistics on more than 10,000 people who have a net worth of $1M or more. Not "earnings".
Net worth.
If that book, and the underlying study don't convince you that you have an opportunity to build wealth during your working years, then nothing will. You can find the book in hardcopy or Kindle form, and I believe there's an audio book out there too.
Get serious. It's worth saying a third time. Even if you're in your 40s or 50s, you still have a chance to be a millionaire, and make your spouse one too. You have an opportunity, one that teachers have taken advantage of for years.
I don't really care if you come back to explain your post with all the "typed laughing". I just wanted to help you since you're a teacher. The ball is in your court now, and I wish you luck.
