How did you get certified to teach?? I am looking into programs to get certified in Texas, but I do not WANT to pay 5K to do it. I have 6 years experience as a gen ed teacher and 2 years working as a reading interventionist. I have everything except the pedagogy exam. I need the piece of paper so that if I need to leave my charter district I am free to do so.

You just answered your own question. You need the piece of paper if you’re going to teach in a public school. Get a degree at a Texas university and then apply to take the certification test. I understand your frustration and even though I had a BA in elementary education, I still had to spend $9K to get my masters in information and library science.

I don't think I need a degree, I am looking for alternative certification programs that are affordable. I have a BS in sociology already.

Also had to redo everything to switch from teaching elementary in DC to high school in NYC. It's what needs to be done.

There has got to be a better way!

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Would 401k custodians have to reverse the transactions and somehow factor in gains earned in users' Roth accounts since the conversion? Could there be penalties?
