Disposalbe income? First grade teacher? Doesn't compute in most peoples minds. I guess they must have an incredible salary for teachers in CA --- enough to afford 30 cars and not worry about the insurance, warranties and other financial normalities that most people do. I guess first grader gifts to their teachers have moved to an entirely new level.

I believe his point would have been received and welcomed, and likely added to the discussion, if he had refrained from incorporating his personal info.
