> I genuinely wonder how they get by

Generally speaking, they don't. The teacher profession is treated as a hobby. Like they prefer to go to the School and teach rather than sitting a whole day at home (unemployment is the Big problem here, outside IT field). So you better have some other member of the family doing some other work.

People in such conditions (quite many), just buy less goodies. They don't have ipads/iphones, new cars or similar...
