A couple of weeks ago I posted about an article I read reagrding the average out of pocket expenses of teachers. Here is that post:

I wondered what the average out of pocket for youth workers was so I asked you to email me what you estimate your annual out of pocket expenses are. 27 of you emailed me back and the average out of pocket was $886.45. The highest was nearly 3K and the lowest was around $50.
So what does this mean? I am not sure all of what it means, but I know this... youth workers are people who often put their own money where their mouth is. You guys rock! I know it isn't easy going out of your account ... it is totally worth it though, eh?
You know you can deduct that cash on your taxes right?
