I don't see my daughter as having a nice salary. She makes around 48 grand per year. That is chump change...a joke...a salary where one cannot get ahead. No way would I have dealt with parents, kids, etc for that measely pittance. Yes someday she will collect her pension which she will have dutifully earned. Where she works the town just voted to increase their taxes so the school could keep functioning. They voted to raise their own property taxes overwhelmingly. Mine went up 75 bucks per year...small price to pay.
