It gets tougher all the time! The problem with being a townie in a wealthy place is that we can't keep up with what the parents spend in our area, and they set the prices, because there's only so many programs and music teachers around...
But we try. We also try to hit that sweet spot between showing them the importance of improving themselves, but also helping take care of their families and leaving the world better than they found it, rather than simply worrying about their annual salary. Sometimes I feel like I'm sending lambs out to the slaughter.
Thanks for reading and for this nice comment.
