I don't have a stable job, even if a had, i'm always thinking why it is so hard to earn money? Yet it is easy to spend. Specially nowadays all prices of food, clothes and of course gas, have increased! Yet the salary from our work is not increasing! Government should pay attention for this matter. But of course we have no choice, we have to work hard for us to live.

That's why we must value our money and don't wasting it for useless things. I think the reason is because human nature is greedy and that's why we can easily spend our money no matter how much money we have on our pocket. But for earning money, we need to work harder and harder and that's totally opposite with human nature which mostly lazy to move. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Technically, it is impossible for people to say "it is easy to make money" throughout their life. Reason being is that humans would never be satisfied with the same life standard. In order to keep ourselves satisfied, everything can't stay the same but have to get better every day.
For example, some poor kid in Africa would look at you and say "I wish if I could have a lifestyle like that...".
You may look at some businessman on a stable job of $100k/year and say "I wish if I could have a lifestyle like that...".
And that businessman might look at CEO of his company and say "I wish if I could have a lifestyle like that...".
... and so forth.
As long as there are someone richer than us, money would always be hard to make and easy to spend.
There is one political thoughts that solves this problem, which is communism - everyone have the same standard of living, no matter how hard you work, and government looks after everything. Though, as you know, communist country never works that well as it simply turns into a dictatorship...
My conclusion is, we gotta compromise at some stage, and appreciate what we got :(
Wish you all the best.
Happy myLotting :)

yes your right with that as its not easy to find better job now a days due to a lot of competition from other applicant. while on the other hand we need money for our daily expenses and theres a lot of things to buy out there and its a never ending needs. thats why most people still looking for any possible additional income aside from their job.

Yes, this is what the problem around the globe. We should take initiative because government will never do anything to poor people. We are here online to earn little extra money. If you give some percentage from online earning to any poor people it will be really helpful for them. What do you say?
