My name is Daphne. I'm 27 based in San Marcos, Texas, and this is financial audit.

Thanks for coming up from San Marcos. What do you do there for a living?

I'll actually work in Austin, but I'm an elementary assistant.

That's kind of a commute. Elementary assistant. So is that like front desk or like helping in the

classroom? Yeah, I'm an assistant in the classroom. Do you have a degree for that?

I have my certification, so I'm a Montessori

elementary assistant. So it's, it's not public. It's a little different. So I have to, you have to go

get a bachelor's and then you have to get like a certification specifically for Montessori. And I just

finished that training in June. And yeah, so now I'm just working my way up the ladder to become a full lead. Oh, very nice. So what do you make right now? Well, actually just signed a new contract today for a new school. And I'm going to be making $22 an hour. Okay. How many hours a week? Is that 40? Yeah, full time. 40. Okay, but it's only nine months, right?

No, it's year around because they have summer camp, so I get the option to work in the summer.

Okay, so with no time off, which I assume is not a thing, would be $45,760.

Yeah, but I also get the, like the winter break and the fall break and spring break and all of that, so. We had come in 2,511. That's, so that's from my old school. Which you were making, how much? I was salaried at that position. It was like $43,000 a year. Yeah. It's's 43,000. So this is going to be similar then.

Yeah, it's a little bit less. But my take-coms more just because here in Texas, I don't, they don't have the state tax. I was in Colorado. Oh, this was Colorado. Yeah, I just moved back like maybe two weeks ago. So you're from here and you came back? Yeah, I went to Colorado to do my training for the Montessori, and then I did my internship

out there, and then I decided to move back for reasons.

What's the state income tax intolerant? 4.4. So I'd say you're probably going to bring home.

Let's include those vacations and everything on a monthly average three thousand two hundred dollars a month and i get three 80 and child support a month

so there's that three seven nine three okay three seventy nine three thousand two hundred so three five hundred seventy nine we can Oh, 379. Okay, 379, 3,200.

So 3,579, we can call your income?

Yes.

Okay.

Cool.

So welcome back, and I'm glad you got a new job, and you're starting to climb the ladder,
