I don't think that being able to afford a place to live and being able to pay your student loans is "hot money."

Depending on your student loans and rent prices, wouldn't it be?

Rent in a major city is $2000/mo. Student loan payments can be in the tens of thousands per year. Assuming a normal tax rate, professors would need to make 6+ figures to live comfortably.
