Sounds like you need to move to a lower col area, figure out your finances, or change your standards then. My wife is a teacher and I make pretty close to what she does. We own a house, we don't have any loans, we make a perfectly adequate living that allows us to do almost everything we want to do. Teachers are not living in squalor. They get very good retirements and plentiful time off for family.

The solution to your problem is not force a certain section of the population to work and give their salary to you so you get to "pursue your dream". Why do you get to do what you want while others are forced to keep your power on and your sewer system working daily?

Decisions have consequences, if you want something then you will need to sacrifice in certain areas.
