Hi! Thank you for the information in this video. I was just wondering if that pay chart was for teaching middle school or elementary school. Did you get paid less as an elementary school teacher? Thanks!

I love these videos. But all of the videos on surviving off of a teacher's salary are made by teacher's who live in double income households. I want to know how to survive on a teacher's salary as a single person. I wonder if it's even possible due to the lack of videos about it.

Teachers should be paid a merit based income rather than a fixed salary.
