Are you doing your currency conversions properly? I mean, 70k is pfg if you're young and single. But if you plan to buy a house, own a car or raise a family its nothing special at all.

70,000 US dollar is a little over 52,000 euros. The average income here in the Netherlands is roughly 34,000 euros.
I'm 29 years old and don't have a terrible income myself (well above average). I can save a bit of money at the end of each month. I own a house, own a car and have a child. But I can tell you that I don't make €52,000 a year.
If you feel that 52,000 euro (or 70,000 USD) is "nothing special", then I think you're pissing off about 80% of the US population pretty badly.

I agree with you right there. Being a teacher is one of the most under-appreciated forms of employment IMO. I was just a bit suprised that people seemed to think that $70K is a really shitty salary, while I would sign up for that kind of pay without a doubt.

How rich can you be with 7 kids, an unemployed husband and a place to house them with only one income?

After you pay all the bills you might have enough money left over to take everyone to McDonald's for dinner.

Rich may not be the best description.
