The ones always jumping around yelling the loudest about others being jealous of others income and wealth, seem to use this as their punching bag. Teachers are educated and most of them completely dedicated to their profession and the students.
Just as any other professional, they have the good and the not so good among their ranks.

So your friend lives specifically in Buffalo or does she teach in the city? There will be a decided salary difference.
Teaches in the city, and like everyone else... Lives in the suburbs.
Your link was specifically about Buffalo so when you said "her plan covers boob jobs", that was an incorrect statement unless you can provide evidence that NYC also has an insurance plan with the same rider.
While you look for that, I'll provide the average salary of a NYC teacher. You didn't mention how long your "friend" has worked there.
Starting teacher salaries range from $45,530 (bachelors degree, no prior teaching experience) to $74,796 (bachelors degree, masters degree plus 30 credits, 7.5+ years teaching experience). Teachers who have a masters degree but no teaching experience will start at $51,425. With annual increases plus increases for additional coursework, teachers salaries will rise to the current maximum of $100,049 per year over time.
New York City Teacher Salary
In order to get that 100K, you have to have been working for 22 years.
Now, what shall we compare that to? How about a bartender?
A good bartender at the Plaza's Oak Bar can make $50,000 to $70,000 per year including tips; $100,000 isn't unheard of.
And how much education is required for that?
$alaries in the City
The average overall salary in the city is $70K, but your friend is making oodles of money? Really?
