Do you feel shamed of earning less money than others?

Hello Alex. That doesn't mean that you are less qualified than others. It is just that you have not got to the job you are most suited for. Yup, I was in similar positions before, earning less than others. Just have to keep working to find the right position. You will make it, don't worry. Good luck to you !

no ididnt, coz i didnt put too much pressure to earn a lot from here. i just come here if i feel bored and have nothing to do. besides earnings here is not really that big unless you will spent the whole day here which of course you cant coz we also have other works to do.

Hello! To be honest, I too have a little of this feeling. I feel lower than persons that are earning more than I am...maybe it is not from money but from the attitude that other people act ...if they earn more than they feel more powerful... I have a story to tell... My boyfriend's cousin in general has more money than I have and every time she is talking about money - like - i will have to buy that or that, I will go on holidays there or there and it costs just a little but I know that is cost more!!! So my solutions was to try to communicate with her less and try to find people that are in my level...I feel more comfortable and happier when I haven't talked with her for a long time... :) so, it's not your fault and other people should understand it!!! Try to be happy and not to worry about money!!! I know what I am saying... :)

Not at all. I know that I work hard for the money I get. I would feel more shame if I were getting paid a large salary for doing very little. I dont regard people in terms of their salary so dont feel uncomfortable interacting with those who are paid more (notice I dont say those who 'earn' more since IMHO there are plenty of people who dont actually 'earn' as much as they are paid whilst others earn far more than they receive.)

no shamed for that. actually, i know lots of people earning more money, even much more money than me. but i don't envy them. you have to look at the big picture. money is just a resouce, a material to support your life, make you independent. if your salary is functional in this sense, then that is enough. there are many others things to judge the quality of your life. those who earn much more money than us have to rush here and rush there, devote most time to do jobs, sometimes like working machines, do you feel it is fair and meaningful to grow up just to work? we spare some time, some effort to work, get money in return, then from that money, we live to enjoy life. the bigger question is how to really enjoy life, how to keep a peaceful mind. now i am very satisfied with my salary, which is enough, and compared with those high-salary-earners, i have much more time to stay with my family, to read in an afternoon sun, and i like the pace.

sometimes but not really

I totally understand where you are coming because I am in a similar position ,howver I dont know if I should saythat I feel ashamed or I should say that I feel as if I have let down my mother and teachers who I know would want to see me do much better.You are only human to feel that way and the best thing I think that you can do is to look at what you have achieved not in terms of monetary gains but but from an educational standpoint or some other measuring stick

I do not feel shamed because you are still earning money not as much as they are but who cares. For as long as you are enjoying your work and the way you live. I have already decided along time ago that we should not put ourselves down just because of that. There is so much more to life than dwelling on that issue. I for one earn less than my brothers but they do not see me less than themselves so we should not also.

Not really but whenever i fell i am not able to fulfill Some requirments of my Mother, then i feel Yeah i really need to earn more this income is not sufficent. thanx

Alex,sometimes i feel the same to you.I can't understand why i feel so uncomfortable to get along with the man who have a better sallary than me.I think i must change it ,working harder and have a healthy mindsets. Let's do it now together.

Never felt ashamed of earning less money than others. I'm mostly just happy to have a job. The only time it would bother me is if someone kept pushing "their work" onto me and then turn around and did... nothing and got paid more money than me. This has happened to me where a co-worker passed off what they didn't feel like doing to me when I had my own work to do. I was unhappy upon finding that they were not infact doing other work but sitting around browsing the web and reading the newspaper. This however is more anger than shame. Other than that kind of situation, there really isn't much reason to care who gets paid what as long as you get paid.

No need for you to feel ashamed, every person has its role, has its purpose and its time. Being humble is important. Just make sure you are honest and decent all the time. Just strive to do your best in all you do.

I have NEVER had this feeling. But a piece of advise and treat me as if you are with a friend: never ever look yourself down. You have something in possession that they do not have, think about it for a while and you would realize how not just 'good', but maybe even 'better' you are than everybody else. You just have to be content with what you have; though there is nothing wrong in wanting to earn more and raise your living to a higher level, but you have to admit to yourself that what you have in your life is because of your own making. If you envy others, make good of that envy! How? Use your envy as an inspiration to lift yourself up and reach or even exceed them. Never be ashamed for what you have because that is what comprises you and your life. You are always just as good as you are, always remember that you have something that you may not realize, but others envy too. Life could take its turn if you could start making a change for an improvement now. Good luck to you =)

yess sometime's but noth al the times i can feel a shame that that engineir earns a loth of money and i only earn 25% of what he earns but i say that if you are smart you can earn much more money , i personali earn 5 times my mother's salari and she works for 25 years now and i only start haveing a job 2 years a go :P

I don't have the same feeling, not really. I think the main thing is that we should NEVER allow us to feel inferior to others; especially over material things like how much money we make. Money is not a characteristic, nor a virtue. I try not to think about it. You aren't a bad (or worse) person than someone who has a higher salary than you, nor are you any less successful. Money is just.. money. It doesn't mean anything, except that you probably work harder for the money you have than he does. I think we just need to have pride in ourselves, and what we do, and never be intimidated by someone just because of how much they make. People are people. Whether or not you're a good, successful person doesn't have anything to do with money, if you ask me!
