1. If you're not earning enough money to save some, you're committing charity.    If you're committing charity, it should be on your terms.
2. Friend called a friend, they looked at my resume online, and a hiring manager just called me for a local SE job.
3.  ...I'm exhausted fighting the students every day.   Then I see the test results; most of them are failing. By my own self standards, that means I'm failing.  But I'm exhausted, fighting the students each and every day.

so....

Charity

Actually, I would refine your thought number 1: if you're not earning as much as you could elsewhere, you're committing charity. If you get a job offer (see thought 2), and you turn it down, then the quantity of your charity goes up.

In this case, your charity includes both lost income and lost sanity.
