I rarely could afford to go out on a teacher's salary. I guess that if I were in a higher income bracket I would've been able to afford to eat out but as a single teacher in expensive CA I have always had to pinch the pennies. No wonder teachers are leaving the profession in droves.

Keep masking up. The flu season will be here with a fury. flying_wahini Sep 2022 #1
