Do You Think Earning A Higher Salary Is the Endgame Of Improving Your Finances?

in LeoFinance2 years ago

People ask about your profession, and that's a very common question. When you say you do a job, the next question people might ask is about your salary. People might guess how much you earn when they get to know what you do for making a living. That's a sensitive question. Most people may not ask this question directly.

But most people are interested to know how much you earn as a salary. If you get a higher salary, it is assumed that your financial condition is pretty good and vice-versa. Do you think earning a higher salary is the endgame of improving your finances?

Of course, when you make more money, you can do a lot of things. You will have more options to do with your earnings. And its impact will be higher. People show their work and skills to get a higher salary. Sometimes people switch from one company to another company when they get an offer of a higher salary.

What you do with your salary can change your financial situation. You have to spend money to live and that comes from your salary. You can create a budget and spend money accordingly. You are in control of what to do with your money. You buy what you need.

In case you don't have any savings, you will be in a vulnerable position if you lose your job. So you save money. Only having idle fiat currency in hand is enough to lose money. You don't see any loss because you have the same amount of money. As a matter of fact, the amount is the same, but you will not be able to buy the same thing next year.

The value of money falls over time. Inflation can eat your money in front of your eyes. You can definitely feel it every time you go to the market to buy something. If you cannot beat inflation, you are losing gradually what you hold in fiat currency.

Having a higher salary can be a starting point for improving your finances. You have to save, invest and manage your finances to improve your financial situation. Two people's financial situation can be different in spite of earning the same figure as a salary.

So what do you think? Please feel free to leave your comments. Thank you for reading this post. That's it for now. I'll be back with another post.

I don't think it is. From my view, the end point is financial freedom and having a higher income will help in that regard. After all, will a higher salary matter if you are fired not long after?

the end point is financial freedom

Honestly speaking, that's why we work hard, we want to have financial freedom. Earning, investing, spending, or basically how you manage your finances will help to get to the endpoint.

LOL. Come to think of it. Earning a higher salary was the endgame that was taught to me by my community. A higher salary is great but it's not my current endgame. To this date, most people I met in real life aim for the highest salary. But unfortunately, they mostly think of what to spend it on when they receive their salary. I can't blame them though as I am sure they are the same as me in the past - No one has taught us the other options beside from spending and saving when we receive our hard earned salary.

Agree with you. I also see the same thing. People focus more on earning a higher salary. If they pay some attention to how they spend their money, their financial situation will improve a lot.

Earning a higher salary could be seen as an opportunity to get into a new financial bracket if you have a good plan in place. Higher salary gives you more leverage and if you utilize it well, it can greatly improve your finances.

Earning a higher salary definitely helps to improve finances, but if you don't be careful with your spending, you may not see much progress in spite of having a higher salary.

Higher salary doesn't makes financially free ,the cost makes us ,you might earn higher salary every month and your cost every month takes 90% of your salary,when we try to cut cost, that is when me might be financially free

So true. It's important how much spend and what you do with the remaining money. Thank you for your feedback!
