I wouldn't say I make a "salary" because I am still in college and I am just working a part time job. I have worked there a little over 3 years though and I only make $7.18 an hour..I wish I made a little more but I love my job so it's ok.

I'm not really satisfied with my current salary hahaha…everything is increasing in price but not the salary. Don’t know how to survive sometimes.

With the demand and opportunities for graduates of our course, I'd say I'm not that satisfied with my salary because I could have easily earned double of my current salary if I applied for another company.

I don't think I will ever be happy with the amount of money I make but that is ok because I know I am saving for the future and building other sources that help out. Things are getting more expensive and they will never go back down so we may as well get used to it. How much money are you putting away? Do you have an emergency fund? Be safe, think ahead and even a low salary can work out.

I don't satisfied with my salary at all.I could only earn the basic salary about RMB 1000 if I have no the chance to work overtime.So,I desire to work on weekend days.Or,I earn too little.But,now,I have to work here before I find a better job.

I think no matter how big our salary is people would never contented/ satisfied of what they get.. The rich people are not contented of how much income they get every month, what more the middle and the low class.. Anyways, honestly speaking I am not satisfied with my salary because it is just enough for the daily expenses like foods, and transportation, some groceries at home, and paying some bills.. That is just enough to pay all the expenses that I need to pay.. I cant even save money.. I want to find new jobs that will give me a high salary that I could keep an extra money for my emergency.. But I think, finding another job is not that easy especially in getting a high salary..

No. Definitely not. Although I paid for my savings on a compulsory basis, I still treat it as an expense and not a savings. It makes me sad when after paying all my bills and accruals, I only have a few cash to enjoy for luxury.

The answer is NO...I'm not satisfied with my salary, who does? =) But actually I'll always take that as a challenge or motivation. When it comes to salary, I always work for my best to keep my salary high. That's why we are working, to earn money. So never get satisfied with what you are receiving, always aim high and look for the best opportunity the world can give you.

I am in the job for the past 24 years. Every time I got an increase in the salary I felt now I am comfortable, but that is only for few months. Again I felt to have better salary and so on I spent 24 years of my career. Actually human being is never satisfied with what he has and urged to have more and more.

i have been working for around 7 years now. As I would always say, I cannot complain with what I am getting. Life is so hard right now. Securing a simple job is really hard nowadays so I am thankful for what I have. I try to make do with what I get. It can be better but it will do. it gets me and my family by everyday. i try not to spend on unnecessary things. I do not buy material stuff that I do not really need and I always attend to my daughter's needs first before anything else.

Is anyone fully satisfied? Most people, i believe, think they're worth more than they're paid. If not that, they just need more for their chosen lifestyle than they make. The economy these days, at least in the US, has prices rising at an incredible rate, while paychecks remain the same or, since deductions are higher, we have less in each check than before. I never dreamed I'd be so broke when I reached this place in my life. I was really depressed, anxious, and frightened by that for a long time. I've finaly begun to see it as a challenge. I like to push myself to meet a challenge. Still, It's difficult!
