Are you satisfied with your current income?

Regarding the TS question, the vast majority of people are not satisfied with their current income. I would have to say, 99.9% of pinoys in general are not satisfied. I am not satisfied with the salary that I would be earning soon but I will not let income/salary alone dictate the job that I would be doing. Let me cite my recent experience:

Last month, I discussed my plan of handing over the operation of our business to my younger sister since I felt that she would be ready to handle the responsibility and more importantly, I felt that I would be happier waking up every morning doing the line of work which i enjoyed the most. I worked as a supervisor in a large health insurance company in the United States for over 2 years and I enjoyed every minute of it.

I posted my resume in a job search website last month and got a call from 2 BPO's with health insurance accounts and a local health insurance company. after a series of interviews ( 3 interviewers each for the BPO's; HR manager, operation manager and VP while 4 interviewers in the local health insurance company; VP for HR, department VP, Senior VP and President), I got a job offer from BPO E and the local company. BPO U did not call back after my interview with one of the VP's, so I'm sure that I was not shortlisted. BPO E offered a far better financial compensation than the local company. After a discussion with my wife and eldest son (he is 4 years old hehehe), I finally chose the local company because of 4 things: I want a local company to benefit from my knowledge and work experience; I am not sure how I would handle working the graveyard shift and having a shifting schedule; I would be in a position where I would have more responsibilities in the local company and most importantly, BPO E is offering a position in an entirely different segment of the insurance industry where I am sure I would not be happy.

In general, the intrinsic rewards of following a passion or making a difference is more important than a high salary in an unenjoyable career

minsan wala naman sa suweldo. kung saan ka masaya at kung yung trabaho mo natutuwa ka.

mga bata ngayon pag napasok sa trabaho ilang buwan lang itinatagal.

I believe that in these times, that is only fair, bro.

Gone were the days when there is "employment for life"....

You are only as good as the employer sees your value and contributions to the company....

Sad reality....

I sadly agree. Sometimes our best is just not enough these days.

there is no such thing as employment for life. every employee is expendable. if the position is not needed anymore or if the company can no longer afford to pay or the company closes, the employee loses the job. occupation maybe longer than employment. with today's economy, job security is gone. unless you sign the paycheck on the front (owner of the company), you dictate who to keep and who to terminate (person who signs the check on the back of the paycheck)

If I had a congressmans' perks .......... then I'd be satisfied.

Wishful thinking! Hay nako!

[robot.sonic]

Satisfied naman kaso lang feeling ko magsasara na company namin. Magiging jobless na ako. Hehehe.

Kaya kahit ok ang sweldo ko di ako makagastos. Saving for the possible rainy days ahead.

meron....sa mga gov't. agencies. pag 60 yrs old ka na lang ata saka ka lng matatangal.

[d'flash]

Sabi nga nila sa panahon daw ngayon. D na sapat na trabaho lang kinabubuhay mo. Dapat mag business ka rin. Maliban na lang kung CEO or presidente ka ng malaking kumpanya

[Retz]

ung mga mayayaman never satisfied yan. they are looking for means and ways para lalo pa yumaman.

[uls]

you'll never be satisfied with your income if your lifestyle cost always exceeds your income

lumalaki nga ang kita lumalaki naman ang gastos

[jansky]

first year sa work dati nag dydyip lang para pumasok
after 4 yrs sa work nagtataxi na
after 10yrs sa work nagkokotse na

ganito naman pag iisp ng tao eh
may pera naman ako bat ako magdyidyip .. and it goes and goes and goes

[bobzy]

Normal na yata sa tao ang di masatisfy sa maraming bagay. Ang iwasan lang talaga ay yung inggit. For me so far so good, but of course still eyeing for more...for my kid's future.

the thread's question is too broad for satisfaction is variable.... what may be big for me, may be too small for you or vice-versa.
and besides, i've known people who have high monthly incomes, but huge monthly expenses due to the reasons that they have to maintain or increase their lifestyle.

for me personally, i know what it feels like ng wala, and i know what it feels like ng meron. and nung "wala" ako, I've felt God's presence in our family's lives and we were happy.

so now, I could say, na maski magkano ang kinikita ko ngayon per month, i would be very satisfied.

[_Qwerty_]

don't compare and don't look at other's income.. just be thankful sa natatanggap nyo and live within that boundary and you will be ok..
