Surviving on a Teacher’s Salary with Danny Kofke 11-17-10

Danny Kofke is currently a special education teacher in Georgia. He is an elementary education major and taught kindergarten and first grade before moving into special education. He has done something to show others how they can do well despite earning a modest income by writing the book “How To Survive (and perhaps thrive) On A Teacher’s Salary.”

Danny has been a teacher for ten years and is proud to say that passion for the craft keeps him in the classroom but smart savings and basic understanding of financial principles have kept his wife (willingly!) at home with their children. Many find it hard to believe that one teacher can support a family of four, but “How to Survive” explains the steps necessary for others to follow suit and save for life’s journeys.

In his book he shows others how to:

• Retire with a sizable nest egg;
• Teach in a foreign country;
• Own all of their possessions – including their cars and houses;
• Invest in Roth IRAs and 403bs;
• Establish a weekly budget;
• Live a financially secure life on a modest salary

Danny has been been featured in a number of publications including USA Weekend, Bankrate.com, PARADE, Instructor Magazine, CBS MoneyWatch.com, FoxBusiness.com, The Wall Street Journal, ABCNews.com, Yahoo Finance, Consumer’s Digest, Bottom Line Personal, Your Family Today and The Huffington Post.
