I don't disagree that she should work to improve, but you are using $90K as if it were a lot of money. According to census data [1], the median household income in San Ramon is $173,519/year and the median rent is $2,557/month.
In San Ramon, you can get paid $65,000/year as an assistant manager at Starbucks without getting a 4 year degree plus teaching credentials.
Plus, how is she earning so much? The San Ramon teacher salary schedule is public: [2]

- talldatethrow 3y agoDid you just show me a chart where over 1/3 of the numbers are around or above $90k, and then ask me how she could be earning that number?
- gamblor956 3y agoYes, but that 1/3rd is all high school teachers with multiple certifications or teachers who have 20+ years of teaching experience. Based on what you've said about your soon-to-be-ex girlfriend, she isn't either of those things.
