Participant[quote=urbanrealtor][quote=paramount]Even if Teachers total compensation is included, I think we all know where the money is going…
Honestly though, I don’t want to fight this battle, and I do think teachers deserve a good salary and benefits.
[/quote]
California is at 124.8% of average for teacher salaries.
http://www.aft.org/salary/2007/download/AFT2007SalarySurvey.pdfCalifornia cost of living is 136.6% of average.
California cost of housing is at about 200% of average.
http://www.top50states.com/cost-of-living-by-state.htmlThis would suggest to me that they make comparatively less than most teachers nationally.
Would you disagree?[/quote]
Without checking out the links — so teachers get socked with the sun tax, like so many of us do. Shocker.
I listen to those crazy loons John & Ken on KFI and they claim teachers in CA make more than other teachers nationwide, even factoring in cost of living. Don’t know their source.

Participant[quote=creechrr]I don’t know that this is a rant speficically about California. You could substitute just about any state for California. The nation as a whole in the crapper. I suggest everyone listen for the woosh and prepare for rotation.
Very few of my peers save, much less apply sort of financial planning. Their attitudes are that someone else will take care of it. No matter the issue, someone will take care of it.
Even if the prevailing attitude change to one of thrift and self sufficiency it would make much of a difference at this point. I can’t help the feeling the we have passed the peak and are heading down hill at an ever accelerating rate.[/quote]
The nation as a whole may be in the crapper but not all states are run the same or in the crappy financially. Many folks like to pick on Alaska and Texas but those two states are running surpluses, as are a few others, due to wise use of their resources and sound management.
