This varies heavily state to state and even district to district, but generally after you've been teaching for a while, you'll be making ok money. The issue is how low starting pay is and how long it takes to get to that point, often 10+ years. 10+ years where you're scraping to get by and don't really have the ability to set any money aside.

Yeah makes sense. Good thing that this critical role for our society is done by people who basically have to live in their cars for a few years. No way that could go wrong.
