Around here teachers in the K-12 system get something in the order of $60-70k a year. Which for how expensive it is around here probably isn't enough, but it is enough to cover a decent living if you're not blowing nearly $10k a year on groceries.

@PleikuNguyen Some states pay so little that teachers have to have a second job just to get by, not even accounting for the 3 months in summer that the wages aren't necessarily intended to cover.

@billhartsford4820 IKR, what I do is go to Costco and stock up on a meat. $150 worth of meat will be enough protein for at least a month. (Usually a mixture of cheeper cuts of beef, chicken and fish) I'll vacuum seal and freeze it in portion sized containers. I'll also buy a bunch of vegetables and rice to go along with that. Then there's peanut butter, jelly, honey and the like for lunches and basic cereals for breakfast. It's still a lot of money, but it's far less than $800 a month and the cooking involved is pretty easy. A few days ago, I took some of that meat and made some cajun flavored beef kebobs. The thing that's nice about it is that it's still pretty much fool proof to cook like that and if you add in some fresh fruit on top of that, you've got a relatively healthy diet on a relatively low budget and without needing a lot of cooking skills or meal planning.
