Money = Success? Moved from Pannon Thread

Re: Thank you all - shop closing - pannon moto sports inc.

Seems that its you who is having issues understanding.

If the poor arnt happy, that still doesnt mean all the rich are.

Money cant buy you everything in life, it can buy a lot of things, but not everything.

Ugghhh....still doesnt get it.

No i do get it.

You started out with money = happiness, but when you realized how stupid that actually was you changed your opinion to money plays a big part in being happy.

And your too hard headed to ever admit anything you said was wrong.
 
Re: Thank you all - shop closing - pannon moto sports inc.

I read a study that there is a certain level of money you can earn and you're happiness level will top off at. Apparently $75,000 a year will give you the same happiness if you made $100,000 a year.

It's not how much money you make, it's how much money you keep. Don't be like those lottery winners who go bankrupt in ONE year.

'You can always get more money but you can't get more time.'

Money does not equal happiness. But if you are going to be miserable, might as well have some cool stuff.

Can someone gimme cliffs on Pannon?

As a workaholic, I can say that money doesn't make me happy...but the security does. It offers security for me - I grew up pretty poor and try to be as little of a burden to my parents as I possibly can, so I started working to become self-sufficient. The only thing that I find is that the more I make, the more problems pop up. You make more & you spend more (and I'm one of the best savers that you'll ever meet).

The only reason that I really work so much is because I like being able to spend without having to worry about it. To put things in perspective, I do 20 hour days in a row regularly. lol...but I also find that I legitimately like the grind (it's definitely a blessing)
 
Re: Thank you all - shop closing - pannon moto sports inc.

Hate to burst your bubble but beginning teachers who are just starting out now are making $48000/yr...not to mention, they work a lot more that what most people think...as a teacher myself, I am usually at school for 7 am and don't generally leave before 5 or 5:30...and then there are the times when we stay until 8 pm like last night for meet the teacher night, and then don't forget about all those report cards we have to write (which by the way, generally take anywhere from 3-4 weeks to do)...and oh, the behaviours, and kids with ADHD, ADD, Autism and any other of a multitude of special needs that require individual attention...I LOVE my job, but get disappointed when I hear/see comments like these...please join a teacher for a day, and then make that comment...


What in this thread would suggest we talk about brand new teachers? This thread is about people making 100k. A teacher is at the top pay after what..... 5 years, or is it 7?
Please show me in your collective agreement where it states how many hours you should be working?
I worked with a manager at GM that went back to teachers college even though she was making $125K........it's tough to beat $83K, summers off, great pension and to top it off be in a union.

So they start at $48k, so they get $5000 a year raise they max out.....that's a pretty big % raise every year isn't it?

Sweet gig in Canada, considering other European countries require up to 5 years of teacher education, not one year like here.

Long Hours - Check
Taking work home with you - Check
Informal authority over people with a million other priorities (aka "special needs") - Check.

Not saying teachers don't have it as difficult as anyone else but tell me what other job you can have a gold plated pension, 100% job security unless you're stupid and touch someone, make significantly above any other entry level job (see the $48k) and 3 months off a year? Come on man. I love it when teachers play the martyr. Trust me, everyone other professional is just as bad off as you. lol

Money is the most important thing in the world. It's what allows you to take care of your self and others with important or frivolous things. Health is very important but No one can guarantee your genetics aren't going to let you down but with money you can have the best food,fitness,healthcare and downtime when you need or want it. Money allows you to focus on relationships with your spouse, friends or family. Most peoples stress or unhappiness is over the lack of money. Married couples fight most about money issues. If you take money worries out of the equation then all you have to do is be happy, healthy and be good to the people around you. If you can't be happy without money worries then you would be miserable no matter how much or little money you have. And to clarify money means different things to different people. If 100k a year is your comfort zone, someone elses might be 50k a year or 50 million.

100k these days ain't that much dude, after taxes and deductions you lucky if you clear 60k.

Tell you for experience, the more you have the more you spend, add a couple of expensive hobbies, a BF and the other one and you are broke :-)

FIXED


+100000000000000000 to this! 100k is not as much as it seems!!

I especially love the people that whine about not making "as much money as another" and meanwhile they have no actual responsibilities, like houses, cars, insurance etc!!

if you guys pay attention to where your money goes...then clearing 60k is a TON of money....taking home $5000/month that's a LOT!

This too.

If teaching was such a horrible grinding job, then why is it so difficult for qualified people to get jobs? Because there are 100x as many applicants as there are positions available? Hmm.. i wonder why that could be.

No i do get it.

You started out with money = happiness, but when you realized how stupid that actually was you changed your opinion to money plays a big part in being happy.

And your too hard headed to ever admit anything you said was wrong.

Money absolutely equals success. And this myth that money doesn't equal happiness also needs to be put to rest. We live in a world where the more money you have means the more freedom you have. The more freedom you have the happier you are.


Wait till you have no money to feed those kids, no money to buy them clothes, no money to send them to the best schools, no money to get them the best medical care when they are sick. Your view of the world will change.

Saying unlimited cash flow would guarantee you happiness is just being neive.

You were the one who said unlimited cash flow GUARANTEEs happiness, not me. Because I understand that nothing in this life is ever guaranteed.

See now if you had money you would be able to get a better level of education (and hopefully some better spelling) and you'd be able to grasp that.

And I am still waiting for you to give up all your money and live happily ever after.

"Sadly this increase in suicide is not unexpected," said Professor Rory O'Connor of Stirling University's suicidal behaviour research group, "given that we know there's a relationship between past recessions and an increase in suicides.
"As more people lose their jobs there's an increased risk of [further] suicides. As well as the financial implications, there's added stress on families and relationships, as well as the loss of social networks to support people.


http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10576847

The reasons people come in vary, but the most common theme is money and job security. There are people who have lost their jobs and people who are worried about losing their jobs.
"The recession has absolutely made an impact on the number of people coming to see us, and I feel we might see even more over the next three or four months, unfortunately."

[h=3]Depression and Socioeconomic Status[/h]According to a 2009 Gallup survey, the rate of depression is nearly twice as high for Americans making less than $24,000 a year than it is for those with annual incomes above $60,000. So I guess all writers are depressed?

I would like to know where these teaching jobs starting at 48,000 a year and moving up to 84,000 a year that quickly are!!!

Teaching's not a difficult job for the right person. And it's a lot of work but has some great perks. It's a weird balance though that most people don't see. I worked 60-70 hour weeks in the school year, then I get the summers off....so it balances in my mind. Not complaining at all!!!

Money can do a lot of things for you.....but it can't buy you emotional maturity, stability, or happiness. To be truly happy you must be happy with the person that you are, not what you have or what you can do for others. It's how you conduct yourself.
