I used to think you make money, you get that money. I remember standing in line for a ride at the state fair, and I told the toothless ride operator he's lucky.
"Why?" he asked.
"You don't have to go to school tomorrow," I said. "You get to make money."

Actually we'll need to take a look at our spending and make some tough choices now that I'm going to be making 10% less than I was before.

little plug for my wife...tis RN school and not med school but I'm still very proud of her. She is the only person this semester in her cohort/class to get straight A's. there's a dozen people who have previous experiences as CNA's or LPN's and she's still the only one to maintain a 93% or better in all her course, lab, and clinical work.

Unintentionally sat next to the CEO of a 10+ billion dollar company at a closing dinner, beat my class level bonus by 50 percent and had a max unit partner tell the managing partner to put me up this cycle. Excellent week all around.

What does “put me up this cycle” mean?
And what did you chat up the CEO about?

With being said we are about to go into debt again. My youngest starts college next fall and we are getting ready to remodel both bathrooms and re-floor the entire house.

Congrats! The wife and I just finished remodeling our entire house in November. We weren't planning on remodeling until this year but we wanted to get it done before our first child was born in December. Made my last student loan payment this month. Only debt we now have is mortgage and hospital bills from labor and delivery. Looking forward to just having mortgage as our only debt. Though I can see us needing a new vehicle in a year or two.

I'm writing an initiative for the November 2018 ballot that will bring Arizona teacher salaries to the national average.

Which is what we are trying to do now...write it in a way they can't fuck it up - or at least we can win in court if they try.

Do the latter. If Ducey doesn't find a loophole to not enforce it, Sylvia Allen, John Kavanagh and other bought-off tools will.

Please do. I read yesterday that as of like 2016, when adjusted for cost of living, the mean teacher salary in Arizona was 50 out of 50 among states. Less than $41k a year.

That's is correct. And on top of that we are 48th in overall funding with the 4th highest class sizes. Shit's gotta change.

Actually, scratch what I said. There will be an education initiative on the ballot in November but I didn't write it and I think it's doomed to fail. I did my best.

No new revenue stream, which means he'll be pulling it from other parts of the education budget. Education funding has been slashed to the bone, and without raising taxes, you're not going to fix it.
