A secondary school teacher in the states makes around $55 000/year. That is not enough to live comfortably and afford to travel, pay for a good education for your children, perhaps have a cottage, etc.
$120k isn't even that large of a salary. I agree that there are some issues when people search for huge salaries like in the $500 000+ range but that's not what's in question here.

That's more than enough. Live within your means.

Where I live houses start at $600 000. If you want a backyard probably $800 000. You can get a decent condo for ~$450 000. $55 000/year is not going to cut it for that mortgage alone never mind travelling for any other amenities.

people who seek security in numbers are as crazy as people who think voting changes things
how about looking for happiness somewhere else other than financial security? like pursuing the things you love doing maybe?
though perhaps what you love most is really counting all those numbers, and trying to figure out when you'll have enough numbers to afford that big thing you always wanted

Sounds like you live somewhere shitty with inflated land prices. The most expensive house in my home town on the market right now is 300k with: 3 Bd 2 Ba 2,395 Sq Ft 20 Acres. The Most expensive house in the city I go to college in, with inflated prices, is $815,900 4 Bd 3 Full, 2 Half Ba 6,342 Sq Ft 0.87 Acres.
I'm pretty sure you are just trolling at this point, or just dumb. 
Regardless I'd rather get paid in enlightened students, or at least in students who I know wont have a pleb for a teacher. Because bad chemistry/physics/math teachers ruin far to many students. It also has the bonus of being a job with constant demand (and grants I receive to make me literally owe $0 after graduation with two degrees).

I live in a big city. That is pretty much how it goes in any big city - San Fran, New York, London, Paris - these places are expensive to live but typically have the highest concentration of high paying jobs and the most amenities.
There are certainly houses/properties here that cost upward of $10 million and probably some a lot more than that.
Depends on your desired lifestyle

I think you need to get around a bit. Around here, there is no such thing as a house that costs 300K. You might be able to get a one bedroom condo with a kitchenette for that price.
I just saw the 20 acres lol. That would cost you a couple million.

Ha, what bullshit. That is higher than the average FAMILY income in the US. 55k a year can afford a family more resources than 95% of humanity can ever hope to consume. If you can't live "comfortably" of off the top 5% highest income on the planet then you are doing it wrong.
My wife and I have never made more than that with our combined income. We live better than comfortably. We have all we need and most of what we want.

i need some math help
I have a circle thats 20(units) in diameter. I have 7 points that start at x=0,y=0. I want each point to travel to the perimeter of the circle and be equidistant from each other. uuuhh. without the x,y for each point by hand, how do i make a formula that makes each point travel to the right spot?
$(div).each(function(){
var magicForumula = ??? var newX = ??? var newY = ??? $(this).animate({ translateX: newX translateY: newY },500,function(){ newX += magicForumla; newY += magicForumla; });
});

I don't know programming any more but
n=0-6
Sin(360/7•n)=x/10 Cos(360/7•n)=y/10 Or 10•Sin(360/7•n)=x 10•Cos(360/7•n)=y
You'll have to offset that to line up at 0,0. That is centered at 0,0

Mick - Khan academy is what you want, it moves really slow and is extremely thorough. However, it might take you awhile to find where your at, and I found the questions on it to be considerably less hard than the grade 11 algebra class that I was placed into. That said, it teaches the fundamentals very well. I'll relate my experience: I am back in school (highschool upgrading) after 11 years out, and fucking up my highschool career. Highly motivated, but tried starting with "self paced" math. Couldn't do it, too time consuming. I was eventually able to teach myself the fundamentals, but it was incredibly frustrating and time consuming. Learning via the text book is an exercise in patience, the language of math is non intuitive for me.
I am now in a class, learning the same material i've already taught myself, I find it to be a breeze and believe the class should carry on that way.
Moral of the story: Teaching myself math is a pain of the ass, i much prefer classes!
That said, algebra is pretty straight forward (and I haven't moved onto calculus yet.)
Goodluck.

That's not really relevant at all. That salary wouldn't cover lots of rich people's mortgage. Rich people buy expensive houses and live in nice rich areas. They often cant even consider living in the "regular" side of town because to them its unsafe, not fit to live in, too far to commute, etc. I commute past houses I could never afford every day.
Perhaps have a cottage? Give me a break...

Then live somewhere not shitty. The city sucks man. To many fucking people, anything over 20k people in a city is to much for me. It's why I need to get the fuck out of this college town as fast as possible. People are morons.

Well if your primary concern is money i' sure you will have to "do things" to be happy. I just want all my bills to be paid for. I really don't give two shits about material goods. If people think "I would do that but it doesn't pay enough" you are at your job for the wrong reason. If all my bills are paid and I have money to smoke weed at the end of every day I'll be happy. 
The only reason I'm not ok with my current job in the food service industry is because it can't pay my bills. I have to rely on money I earn from grants to do that.
