This was more my intended question.

I can't imagine anyone in BR can afford a safe place for themselves (especially with a child) on $25k. So I suppose most private school teachers are coming from a dual income household.

I understand not having aspirations to make six figures. I mean, I'd love it as much as anyone, but my happiness is more important. That said, being able to survive comfortably vs. being poor is more than just desiring money. I mean, $25k puts your child in free/reduced lunch range.. and that range isn't very forgiving so you know you're low when you're in it.
