i don’t have a lot of hunting experience but enjoying getting into it a little more. I shot a nice little buck this year with the ELDX in 6.5 CM at about 160 yds. The deer only went about 30 yards. My biggest concern was 0 blood and a tiny pinprick exit. Now there was massive damage inside the lungs and heart but I worry if he had gotten in the woods another 30 yds or so it would have been tough to find. Should I think about a different bullet. I love the 6.5 but am considering going with a .308. Any thoughts especially about bullet is appreciated.

You mind me asking who your guide was?

I was in a very similar situation. Wife and I were both teachers making about 100k total, wanting a family and wanting to invest in real estate for later. Biggest thing I had going for me was I got married so I had several years to pay down car note and sock some cash away before getting married and kids. Invested in a couple of trailers and over the next 15 years parlayed those into several houses and trailers. IMO you need a max of 10k for rent house repairs. Anything other than that could be put down for debt or saved for a vacation. I think it is important to enjoy your money responsibly. I got caught up in accumulation and didn't want to cut any of it loose for anything. I realized I needed to spend some for experiences with my wife, and family. We would take several vacations a year although it was 1500 long weekends to the beach or mountains. Never and still haven't taken the 8k Disney trip. You shouldn't be so house poor that you can't enjoy life. We have a nice house and nice vehicles (nothing extravagant but nice), so it can be done.
I have friends who are more extreme than me who do it on a one teacher salary with three kids. It can be done but they live cheap and he has several side hustles that he really grinds and supplements his income.
I respect the tithing of 10%. Malachi 3:10-12 God says to test Him with your giving.
You're on the right track but it still seems like it shouldn't be so tight that there isn't money for gas.

Most bus drivers are contracted to work for a set number of hours. I think it’s 6 in EBR. Usually they run their routes in about 3-4 hrs. When they get held to their contract they want to go on strike. Bus drivers are the only people who work part time hours but get full time benefits.

Anyone recommend the Champion or the Legend Force tiller. They are about the same price.

It definitely seems like something went wrong and you made some mistakes or you wouldn’t have gone to jail.
I’m more worried about making LP and even AP better. Wherever you are now I’m sure it’s perfect and glad you found a spot to be happy. LP and AP generally turn out some pretty good students and in this case LP deserved the salary increase to retain teachers and to attract new teachers.

Did you read the proposal for the tax? It specifically states this tax was for salaries and that is all it could be used for.

Math education degrees require a full math degree, plus a minor in education and full year of unpaid student teaching.

Yes, but you don’t need that to teach and receive full teacher pay and benefits. College degree-you can teach. May have to complete a praxis at some point over a couple year period but unfortunately student teaching is just about a thing of the past. There is a great deal of learning that happens during student teaching.

Baton Rouge High is an outlier as they get to turn people away. Most schools esp. in LP have to accept anyone who lives in their district.
