All of that aside Happy Holidays. Oops sorry for you I mean Merry CHRISTmas. I made sure to keep the CHRIST in it only for you.
i do better than public employees (but without any pension or retirement health benefits). i save about 30% of my income so i should be ok in my retirement. but if my wife worked, id like her to be a teacher. realistically, in order to attract people to do the job of teacher in nyc i could pay $12 an hour plus single person medical coverage and no pension benefits and would get better results.
