Yeah, it's pretty normal. But, if you make as much money as Bill Gates does and you complain you don't make enough, then you probably have problems.

Here's the thing about money.
A. The more you make, the more you spend. I've yet to find someone who can prove this wrong to me. I know right now if our income doubled, we'd probably wind up spending almost double what we are now.. its just uncanny how it works.
B. Money doesn't provide happiness - but it does provide more ways to satisfy your urges for happiness.
C. No matter if you make a buck an hour, or have a multi-million dollar estate, try to always be greatful for what you have. Realize there are many, many people in this world less fortunate than yourself. Sometimes, it also helps to give back a little.. even if its just to slip a guy a couple bucks for a cup of coffee or whatever every now and then.
D. If you're 'satisfied' with how much you make - then I feel that you've settled... I never settle. I always strive for more in life.. I find that philosphy helps me greatly when doing things like negotiating salaries or working out contract rates or whatever.

enough is never enough, when I was an apprentice I was making 5.82 and hour, I was like when I make 11 I'll be happy, then when I made 11 I wanted to make 13-14 etc etc etc.. Now I'm making lots of money and I still would love to make more... Not even because I spend so much, it's because I want to cushion my accounts as much as humanly possible, never know what can happen..

i hear you guys
it's not about what i want, it's about what the opportunities around me
there is always this company, or this career path, or this other MBA diploma that attracs you and you're like " if i do that .... "
i know that the only thing that will keep me from lurking into other companies, will be the U.N. if i get to work there, i'll stop worrying about salary and shit .... well i'll fly firstclass that's one thing
do you always look for job / diplomas opportunities even if you have a job ?

Well Darknemus, I've proven this theory wrong already several times in my career history. At those times, I was actually putting more money into savings then I was spending. My spending pretty much stayed the same as always.

Drew,
I commend you. I've never managed to do that - not at any real level, anyway. Don't get me wrong,. I have savings.. but I also spend alot of money on stupid crap i don't need. Its that 'keeping up with the jones' syndrome, I guess.

I agree with this. I just got a $20K raise 2 weeks ago. I'm sure I won't save $20K in the next year!

I think it depends on what kind of work you do.
For example, if you're making $1/hour on working your ass off such as a construction worker, then there should be a reason to be unhappy. But, if you're making $1/hour on something like screwing caps on toothpaste bottles, then maybe you should really think about why you're getting paid that way.

I should do that!?
although in honor of all moms/housewives out there, i should clarify my statement and say the more i make, the less my wife EARNS. cause as i've heard from my wife 8,000 times, being a stay at home mom is ALOT of work.

It's all on how you spend your time. I have 2 active boys so I race from work to pick one of them up and take them to their sporting event and then eat dinner around 8pm and then start my chores. My days have been very long. I admit that I now have someone cleaning my house because there was no way I could fit that into my day too!
I should have started working less when my husband starting making more money and the boys were babies, but now I make so much money that I would be crazy to quit.
Is this what you call a trap?

a month or two per year I get to be mr mom and I would take work over that anyday.. My kids are both younger then 5 so there is no relief.... it might be easier if each morning you shipped them off to school then picked em' up and had both parent when going home..
When I'm home I get 12 hours a day with a 6 month old and a 4 year old, just lets say thank god I am back to work..

I make $800,000 a year. I massage the bare naked buttocks of sexy women all day. At times the job gets boring, but I wouldn't give it up for the world.
