I second this.

The only issue is what could happen when you changed to that animal. For example, what if you get killed on as an ant or a bird?

Which parking lot are you comparing it to? Wal-Mart?

I 100% did not believe you about the salary, not that you had friends. lol. I was wrong on his salary. The facts you posted showed me that. I'm not opposed to changing my views based on new information. They pay well up there. That said, most teachers are not paid well.

The article isn't skewed. It's simply giving a state average. Each district will be different. Buffalo pays extremely well (especially) considering how cheap it is to live there. I'm simply pointing out that it's not the case for the majority of the US. Florida, where I live, is at the bottom of the pay scale. To say teachers get paid well isn't a true statement for the majority of the US. As I mentioned, high pay usually (but not always) results in a high cost of living. Buffalo being an exception to that rule.

Let's call him the exception, not the rule. He's in the highest annual area.

I make $40K and that pension statement is a joke. Your "friend" must be in an area like NYC where 65K is due to a high standard of living.

The two comments above this. Real Talk. Take note young couples.
