Why is there a stigma attached to how much people earn? I never understood it. But then again, my idea of social norms are perplexually skewed (any psychologists wanna jump in on that one?)
So basically,
-what is your job/role?
-how much do you earn?
-do you do anything 'on the side' to earn more?
-what are your overall yearly expenses?
-are you living comfortably?
Lemme get the ball rollin'
-I work as an I.T education support officer.
-I earn about 46k per year (considered below average)
-I dont do anything on the side, although I probably could.
-My yearly expenses roughly add upto about $7,000. This only includes phone, mortgage and board as im still at home. (house on the way)
-I would say im living comfortably. I see how others live going out getting pissed every weekend at bars paying for drinks, shots, transport etc and wonder how they have money for anything else since they mostly study, not work. It then occurs to me a lifestyle of studying allows for government subsidy. If I work full time and cant really afford to do that then why should my taxes support their habits? But thats another issue.
