Do you feel you work to much for the money you earn?

Nope - I don't do a lot, and I don't earn a lot.  Seems fair.

I paid up all the bills I had fixed my car paid my insur up for mths to come lol (smart), was able to buy clothes for my kids n myself. And get extra and new things around the house. \nI see what your sayin but dont worry about them they apparently dont have to go from pay check to pay check just to get by. And dont realize how hard some ppl to work to make that money.\nI agree with the gettin taxes too. As in when you make more money they take more in taxes. Duh so if they dont want that much taken out dont make it.

I am in accounting. I work for a small company with about 150 employees. There are only 4 of us in the office. I make approx. $50.000 per year. I love my job. It is close to home, school, doctors, dentist, etc.... Being that I have kids I need time off for plays, conferences, etc... They always let me leave and understand that my family is important to me. I work 8-4 with no overtime, no weekends. I get 3 weeks vacation and the usual holidays.

Income depends on outcome.\n\nIf you work hard and improve your work methods every day, in order to improve the QUALITY or the QUANTITY of what you produce (i.e. the outcome), then you will never have to worry about your income.\n\nTo answer your question specifically, especially the part "without having to do that much work," I would say that the solution is to find work that you really, really want to do.\n\nThe more you want to do it, the less it will feel like work!\n\nThis may sound crazy to some people, because we often associate "work" with "necessary evil."\n\nBut that's because people confuse "work" (which you do to get paid and pay the bills) and "Work" -- with a capital "W" (which you do because that is your talent, your purpose in life).\n\nMost people KNOW what it is that they are good at. But they are afraid to go for it. They would rather go for the safe bet.\n\nEverybody has at least one talent. What is lacking, I think, is the courage to go to the dark places where that talent will take you. Yes, it's hard. But the incredible reward, if you decide to do what you love to do and are good at, is that you will never have to work a single day in your life.\n\nThis 19-year-old, who launched www.mobiletracker.net, proved it. He gets paid $55,000 a year to work only three hours per day (right beside his pool at home).

Hey!  I feel the same about some of these things, but out of common sense, Some people think that they know what is best for you.  I wonder where these people are when it is time to pay my bills?

Growing up my parents didn't give me an allowance, but whenever I needed anything they were sure to buy it for me and when I wanted to go with friends I got some money. Mainly I had to earn my own moneys when I turned 15 and old enough to work. Before like for the movies I'd probably get like $20 or something, but that wasn't a usual occurence and for the most part I just got 5-10 dollars and it definitely set me for life. Now here at college I am working as well as saving. I know that if I want something I have to aim to save for it, and realize more the value of what I am getting.

Money alone does not make any one rich. The ability to be happy with yourself - to work or not work if you want, and to love your fellow man and be loved back are important here too. My mother gave me 18 million when she died and that is OK but I made a lot on stocks and sold my internet company at 42 and retired so now the accountant tells me I am worth about 130 million. I really don't feel rich as I am depressed two out of every 7 days. I do like shopping without restraint though.

There is an old saying that if you work 40 hours you get 40 hours of pay. \n\nThen on the other hand, yes, one can work too much. It all is relevant to your situation. Is there a wife, kids or other people or things that require your attention? You have to know your limits and the limits of those demanding your time.

You have too much money when the people around you that have a stake in your success are suffering financially and you won't help them.  You have too much money if your doing great and your kids are starving on welfare.  You have too much money if your business suffers because the people that work for you constantly have personal problems of the basics in life because you make thousands and pay them minimum wage.  You have too much money if your sole purpose is to make the people you love suffer.

It depends on the view point.\n\nI see it as an opportunity to make significantly more money than a boring 8-5 job.  At a job, my contributions don't matter; product a lot, get paid the same.  produce a little, get paid the same.\n\nSince I am a high producer, I have confidence that I will make more money this way.\n\nThat isn't to say there aren't dry spells.  This last year, I went 5 months without any significant income.  But I live beneath my means (significantly) and had saved money.  And when the time came, and it always does, I stand to make more in a few good months than most of my friends do in a year.  \n\nTo me, working on commission means I'm my own boss, I can write my own check, I get paid more to be intelligent and creative.  The reality is, for my personality, commission-based is security.\n\nHaving a boss who can fire you, a small income, praying for a tiny raise next year, being dependent on others for your financial well being -- that's true insecurity.\n\nThere's an irony that the people who feel secure in reality are the most vunerable.\n\nIt's not for everyone.  If you feel strongly about your abilities and have a strong desire to produce, it's perfect.  If you prefer contributing and helping, and want to know the monthly paycheck is covered, then a regular job is better.\n\nRemember, the truly financially secure rarely work for others.  They work for themselves.\n\nConsider looking at this as your first opportunity to really "break out" and earn what you deserve.\n\nThe worst case is you go back to a normal job.  This is an opportunity to make yourself some money, not your boss's company.\n\nGood luck.  Email me with any questions,\n\nJared

How do you feel about your current job? Besides the pay, do you get along with your coworkers? Is your boss constantly checking up on you and questioning your work, or does s/he respect you and give you space to work freely?\n\nThese are the sorts of questions that I ask myself in a situation like your own. While money is very important, unless I was getting offered a lot more money, I would stay where I was if I felt comfortable there.\n\nHow I look at it is that you're at work for (at least) eight hours a day. When you're not at work, or sleeping, you're either getting ready for work or unwinding from work - so it is far better to find a place that you like to work at as it is essentially a second home.

Have you checked to see how much tax you'll actually have to pay? It may not be as much as you think.

Not sure if I understand the question, but I'm gonna give it a shot.\n\nIf you spend that much time at work, feel the need to make more money, and cannot find a better paying job, you should work less hours at your work.  You know, be less productive.\n\nLet's say you make 10 dollars per hour.  You spend 78 hours a week at work.  You made 780 dollars.  If you only WORKED 20 of those hours you were at work, and spent the rest of the time reading or doing something else for yourself, it would be like you make 39 dollars per hour.\n\nThis doesnt actually help you when you're paying bills, but at least you can feel better about yourself!

As mentioned already, everyone works for money. \n\nWhat that poster failed to consider though, is that isn't always the primary motivation...which appears to be what you are asking. \n\nAnd no, it's not bad to be motivated by money. Hopefully though, you are motivated by more than money. Hopefully you enjoy your job, see it's purpose in the grand scheme of things, feel as though you are fulfilling that purpose, etc. Likewise, there are plenty of people who do jobs to pay their bills, that they picked so they can have free time to do other altruistic things. \n\nThing is, you're a complex individual...there are many reasons for many of the things you do. What I can't help but ponder here, is why you are asking such a question? Is someone questiong your morals? Are you questioning your morals? \n\nIf your questions are based on the judgements of others...don't bother with what they are saying, unless of course you see merit in their words. In that case, you are questioning your own morals, and this is something you must come to terms with on your own. Are you, for example, happy just working for money? Even if you are, hell...it's an honest day's work. You are a productive member of society, working and contributing taxes. if NOTHING else, you are at least indirectly doing more than simply working for money. \n\nSo, while "bad" is a matter of opinion, really the only opinion that matters is yours.
