    Fellow educator here! So glad you found a wonderful solution to the money problem. It’s so frustrating how important education is, yet how little many educators are compensated for their amazing work with our youth! My district is great, I’m a 3rd year teacher making $96k (M.Ed), but our neighboring districts with the same education and years make $65k-$70k Tsk tsk tsk how can one survive on that without a partner???

    Lovely sized home 🤩 This is the size I would go for if I could afford to buy. You could use the office area for a dining room if you needed to. Or just put a small desk on the same side as the stairs and I'd use a blow up mattress for guests in that space. Just to keep it free from furniture most of the time. You could do yoga or stretching or some meditation in that space if no furniture there. Plenty of options. And nice to have a standing bedroom also.

    This is a beautiful space. Any smaller, and you may feel closed in. I live in a place that's about 400 square feet. Way too small! I don't buy a lot (except i think i have too many clothes!). Even so, it gets cluttered so easily and looks like a disaster area if I don't keep after it continually. Believe me, some days i don't! My declutter time is before bed most days. I'm fortunate in that my job takes me away for a week or two at the time, so before I leave I do a deep cleaning so I can come back to clean and tidy. Still, my place is way too small.
    Your home looks wonderful and cozy!
    Edit: It's never been up to my parents for my peace of mind or what I wanted to do in life. It's actually never been their problem. :)

    As an educator, I can tell you that we actually DO make pretty good money. I spent most of my career in the legal field, but when I became a middle school teacher last year, I received more money than I had ever made before in my life. So it always annoys me when teachers perpetuate the myth that they don't make much money. Do we make as much as surgeons? No. But we make more than the average working stiff, and we get far more vacation time than any other career I can think of.

      It does vary quite a bit state to date. Many young teachers in Texas with little experience make $30-40k per year which is not much but definitely much more than minimum wage. On the high end in Texas, an experienced teacher can make $65k per year.
