You
are not alone.
Like
most of our middle class, millions of America’s educators
have seen the value of their personal investments decline dramatically
in the past few years, and in far too many cases even precious pension
dollars have been severely compromised. However, today’s dedicated
teacher often has a greater number of financial hurdles to overcome
than many others. This is no secret to anyone in the profession.
While
we have seen the income levels for many occupations and professions
increase to record levels in the past two decades, educators continue
to be among the lowest paid professionals in the workplace. Despite
public statements from various politicians and political groups,
the promised momentum in improving the lot of those people who educate
our children; our nation’s most valuable resource and the
foundation of our future has simply failed to materialize.

Beginning
salaries for US educators have remained so low that it’s amazing
the profession attracts the quality individuals that logic dictates
we want teaching our youth. From a low of $18,700 to a high of $33,676
(source: AFT annual survey 1999-2000) it’s hard to imagine
anyone who’s just finished earning a BA even considering a
position that pays $360 a week before taxes! Yet many do more than
consider it; they somehow manage to do it and provide a quality
education in the process. No minor feat with all the things people
have to deal with these days besides basic economics.
So
is it any wonder that many educators are encountering distress when
it comes time to pay this new month’s round of bills? What
should come first, credit card bills or the mortgage? Should you
take one credit card and use it to pay another credit bill? These
are very difficult decisions for anyone to consider and it’s
unfortunate that these are the realities that so many fine teachers
have to face right now.
Debt
Management and Credit Counseling
has been the solution for thousands of educators nationwide. It
is a way to pay down your unsecured debt at greatly reduced interest
rates, saving hundres or thousands of dollars in the process. In some
cases the monthly payments have been reduced, penalties and late
fees have been eliminated, and people who complete the program are
often considered credit worthy and responsible by the majority of
the country’s creditors and credit rating agencies.
While
other options do exist, when one considers the advantages of our
non-profit foundation’s Debt Management program versus bankruptcy,
debt
settlement, or debt
consolidation loans – there is really only one viable
choice. Speak to a trained counselor today – it is our pleasure
to serve you.
