Thanks for the encouragement!Really glad that there are still people out there who appreciate teachers.Nowadays,we rarely get that since we r paid low and get little respect in society.But teachers driving big cars & living in condos?Wow,unless they have parental support.For myself and wifey,we depended verymuch on ourselves to start off our financial journey...no help watsoever.I guess u r doing very well now since u can afford a car & a condo?
