Earning is not enough

Money is the most important thing for us and thinking about about our life without money is not possible. It doesn’t matter how much we try to enjoy our life without money we cannot make it happen in reality. All of us understand the truth and that’s why everyone is chasing it desperately and I never think it’s something to feel ashamed of. The lifestyle of a person mostly depends on as well as the financial condition. Again, the earnings of a person are somehow related to the economic condition of a country.

I’m from a developing country and it’s an overpopulated country and naturally there are many obstacles to the development of the country. Population itself is the problem as we cannot make it our asset. The economic condition of my country is not so good and darling of a person is not so huge. Minimum wage off a worker is different based on profession but according to my observation it’s somehow close to $120 in dollars term. But there are many non-governments company which offer lower than even half of the minimum wage. Finding a job is very difficult in my country, many people are struggling with it and because of that many people are ready to work at events they are not paying enough.

At the present time inflation is striking badly and the situation is getting worse from time to time. The price of all necessary products has increased multiple times while the salary of a person didn’t increase. Adapting to such a situation is indeed difficult for any person. Surviving comfortably for a month with the earning of $120 seems somehow impossible to me. I don’t think that anyone can even eat well just by using the salary. I’m really surprised to see people surviving with a little money. I think they are forced to survive in that way because they don’t have any alternative option to escape from it. I don’t consider living like that as living comfortably.

What if the salary doubled? Will it be enough to live a good life? $240 or $250 is not so huge sum but still I feel that it’s possible to enjoy life with good food if one doesn’t need to take care of the rental issues. I mean if one person is living in a village and earning$240 or $250 it will be enough to support his family with good food still it is not considered as good as only eating good is not meaning having a good life. I feel that at least one person needs to earn $350 to enjoy life moderately as it also allows a person to somehow have freedom to enjoy with moderate range, but it should be in moderation as the earning can’t afford reckless spending.

Let me discuss what can be considered as rich here? To be honest it is difficult to determine because depending on amount of earnings it is not actually true. Some people think that earning $500 is enough to consider themselves face and some people can’t even consider themselves rich after earning $1000. There is no exact amount for calling one rich but I feel that if one person is earning $700 at least the person can consider himself rich unless the person spend money recklessly.
