    Teacher Salary Regrets

    Teacher Salary Regrets

    On this episode, I share how I was so naive back when I started teaching so many years ago.
    I didn't know anything about how to save my low paycheck and how to make my precious dollars work for me so I could retire comfortably. 

    This will be a part of a series of episodes on the mistakes I did in my personal finances. In fact, many people, many teachers struggle with this.  Only in the past couple of years, I've begun to turn it around so that I can leave teaching on my own terms.
    See you in the episode!

    Come, let's hear how Desparius, my great resistance-dragon in life, no matter how insidious it can be, can be tamed.
