Are you contented with how much you're earning today?

Does it meet your need and you can do some pleasure at the same time? Or you're having a hard time and need to make ends meet?
I have an officemate who's really working overtimes 4 hours everyday and he said that what he is making right now is not enough. he is married and 2 kids and his salary is still not enough with the house rent, the school, and water and electricity bills and food...but he is making more than what im making...but im able to meet my needs and even have a good time.
what about you? please share some thought...

Well, I think the problem with alot of people is they just cant control their spending. I dont know anyone that wouldnt say that they made enough, please dont give me a raise. I'm sure that there is alot of people need more to survive in todays world but their are ways of saveing money that alot of people just dont want to be bothered with. I know I probably make more then alot of people here but I have always tried to live within my means. I think that if some people were as poor as they claim, they wouldnt be typing away on a expensive computer or spending money on internet access. Just my two cents. Take care, Terry

Hello,daryljane,I am happy about my earning now,i can earn enough for the bills(just enough) and pay other expenses,but i can still enjoy my life since i do not have to work overtime,I do not mind o earn more money,but i will have to get a balance between life and work.
Earning money is not everything in your life,you still have a lot of things to do other than that.
Good luck.
