RE: Hustling for NOTHING!
Agreed! I can't believe how low the wages are compared to the cost of living! It makes everything more expensive when you equate it with the time it takes to make that money. Just the other day we had a problem with our bank, we got charged a 26 dollar fee and that ends up being hours of my work day. It's so disheartening to think that your time is worth so little, an unforeseen charge puts you back hours.
I'm putting in the hustle now so that I can build something!
A person can feel like an under paid servant.
It is n interesting wy to go through the day thinking about how much time everyhhing cost.
Dinner cost two hours of my life
Dinner and a movie is four hours of my life.
That trip is 10 hours of my life.
The US definetly under values and devalues the workers that make it great.
Why is Austrailia able to py so much more per hour?
Yeah it's crazy to think about! When you have to double guess a purchase because you think hmm is this t-shirt worth half my work day?
I don't know to be honest. I think Australia just tried to keep up with the growing cost of living and we have a smaller population, less states, etc. It's easier to get issues passed up to parliament and less resistance from commercial giants.
Interesting.
Does Austraila provide education and health care?
In states we get paid less and we have to provide for everything too.
Our university is paid by the government and we only need to pay it off when we are earning a certain amount of money. You pay for private health care but we have a base medicare that is provided as part of your tax. Health care has nothing to do with your job though, it's completely separate.
I'm loving living in America at the moment but I'll be happy to go home in a year or so. I personally find it a harder life here.
