As for the rest, we are supposed to feel bad for this whiner because he has a $400/mo payment making $56k and he can't buy his dream house? YGBSM! He's been laid off six times but takes zero responsibility for the fact that he didn't make the cut, he has lived in two very expensive states (CO & CA), and he's not living his dream at 36. This sort of entitled not my fault attitude is what's wrong with our country. I paid off $44k in loan debt in two years making about $52k by working overtime and buying, fixing up, and reselling cars, as well as my family living like poor people. I also moved somewhere with low cost of living and available jobs. I just can't believe this POS has the nerve to complain about how bad he has it.

Because he's a school teacher (I did not read the article) and has a degree in Econ, so he knows it all. I really hate to say this, but my experience has been the same when certain subjects come up for chit chat. Since I taught high school, part time, I have almost lost all respect for them. Yes, I am generalizing. I found 1 out of 20 school teacher, counselors, or VPs have a good head on their shoulder about money or business.
I am kinda dumb, but I never sign anything even beck in college that involve money, so why should I feel sorry for this guy? This is typically how school teachers feel about their pay. They are smarter them most out there due to the piece of paper they have hanging on their wall, so they must make more then YOU, unless you are a lic engineer or a CEO. Those that have a Master in Eductaion, F'-o-dear, they shirt don't stink. High school classroom teachers that have a Ph.D (more then likely in Education, not something significant), don't look em' in the eye when you speak to em'. Look at their shoe only and answer when spoken to. Don't get me started. This kind of crap makes me upset.
