Working For Money
Working For Money
Hi I'm David Oliver from Love Work Live Life
Are you working for the money? Sure you say what's wrong with that. Well we are not wired by God to work for money in fact we are wired to make a difference and wired to serve. Making or earning money is a by product.
It was Marion Wright Edelman who said service is the rent for being the reason for existence. So it's an interesting exercise to challenge our thinking about why we do work in the jobs we are in
Working for the money often means looking at the wrong number. I understand that some of us in this room tonight may be on really low salaries but let me ask you what seems like a straightforward question who earns more someone on £80k or someone on £50k? Let me ask you to face one more little bit of reality. At some point honestly add the total numbers of hours you work in a week or month and divide your net salary by that amount and compare that with someone on half your pay or whatever and look at the calculation again;
$80k on an 80 hour week = A Real Income of Just $13.70 per hour In truth I work - including road and air travel - a total of 80 hours per week.
$80K earner pays approx £24.5K tax and £2.9K NI, leaving net pay of £52.6K, which for 80 hours per week for 48 weeks in the year equals
$50k on a forty hour week Real Income of $18.03 per hour
$50K earner pays approx £12.5K and £2.9K NI, leaving net pay of £34.6K, which for 40 hours per week for 48 weeks in the year equals
THAT'S $4.30 AN HOUR BETTER OFF OR 30%!!
A similar calculation for someone on £40 k gives them £ 9.33 per hour and the one on £25k gives them just £ 10.28 per hour. Some of us don't have high paying jobs to start with and a different solution is going to need finding for you but for many of us today - it's wake-up time
