What is offensive is assuming that people don't know how to manage their money. No where in any of the posts did ANYONE say that they had a problem managing their money. I said "if "someone was a bad budgeter it might be scary. I know people that get paychecks every other week who are bad with money.
Maybe try not to be so judgemental.

Maybe try not to read into something that's not there. This seemed to have been a general discussion.
I didn't say anyone in particular didn't know how to manage their money. Don't read into things. It was a general "you", as no one here had said in particular that they had a problem. But it sure seemed like you were citing it as a reason in support of teaching being more difficult than other professions- or else why bring it up? What I said is true. Not being able to handle your money is a personal issue, and has nothing to do with teaching. If you know you only get a paycheck 9 months out of the year, you either get another job for those three months or budget your money. I don't feel sorry for someone who knows that upfront, and I don't feel pity for them for not being able to deal with it. Sorry.
While you didn't say that your job was harder than anyone else's, someone else did say that teaching was "100x harder that most other professions".
I must say, I am curious as to what in particular those professions are and how "harder" is measured.
