Can teachers really build wealth on a modest salary? In this inspiring episode of The Teacher Money Show, Shaun Morgan talks with Brittany Flammer, a certified financial coach, mom of five, and wife of a high school teacher, about how they built over $800,000 in net worth on an average income of just $37,000 a year—all while raising a large family.


Brittany shares how small, consistent steps toward saving and investing—even when money was tight—led to incredible financial peace and freedom. She and her husband avoided debt, prioritized long-term goals, and learned to live frugally without feeling deprived.


Here are some highlights:

-Brittany and her husband built nearly $1M in net worth on a teacher’s income

-She shared simple ways to live frugally and raise money-smart kids

-How to make small investments grow through consistency and employer matching

-Why financial peace matters more than high income for teachers

-Why your worth as a teacher is not defined by your net worth


If you’re a teacher looking to build wealth, create stability, and find contentment—this episode will show you that financial independence is possible, no matter your salary.
