A lot of people seem surprised when they hear that I am a stay-at-home mother and that my husband is a teacher. I’ve had people just come right out and ask me, “How do you do it?” and I’m sure there are others who are simply not bold enough to ask but might be wondering the same thing for themselves.
The Teacher’s Salary Series was born out of those questions. While I won’t pretend it’s easy or that we know it all when it comes to personal finance {HA!}, it is my hope that you might get some ideas or be encouraged in how you might be able to be a good steward of however much money you earn.
Here are some of my posts so far.
