That wasn't the question. The question was "what do you suggest teachers should be paid in Florida."

And the original post said said that the teacher salary in Florida was $49,000. Where did $29,000 come from?

But the answer to your question is a lot of people.

And according to the following website, the median individual income in Wildwood is about $25,000 and median individual income in The Villages is about $34,000. Median household income in Wildwood is about $40,000 and median household income in The Villages is about $65,000.

So it looks like the teachers are doing ok.
