你的工资是多少？你对此满意吗(一)

Rashina, Club Nomads & Amplify Copy的创始人

I’m currently 23 years old and earn 50,000 GBP per year. This is a gross income of ￡4166 per month.
So why did the universe decide to pay me this sum?
Let’s start at the beginning…
I started working when I was 16 because I was really stubborn and and liked beautiful things. I hated asking my parents for money so I got a part-time job on the weekends to pay for my teenage extravagancies.

我现在23岁了，我每年收入5万英镑。每个月税后收入4166英镑，而且几乎没什么波动空间。那么为什么老天会让我赚这么多钱呢？让我们一起看看我是如何做到的……
我16岁开始工作，因为我真的很固执，而且很喜欢漂亮的东西，再加上我很讨厌向父母要钱，所以我在周末找了一份兼职来支付我青少年时期的挥霍。

My very first job was pivotal in shaping my perspective towards the acquisition of wealth.
It was in luxury jewellery sales. My base pay was 6.75￡ per hour, 16 hours a week (Saturday and Sunday) but after a few months of working there I became so in-tune with human behaviour that I regularly received monthly bonuses from hitting targets. I made around 500–700￡ per month, whilst still being at school. I bought my first Prada bag at 16, just because I had the cash lying around and not enough sense to invest in Bitcoin (late bloomer, please forgive and forget!)
My second job wasn’t paid at all.
I made the leap from working as a resource to creating a resource, by setting up a Bristol University version of Her Campus magazine. Although this wasn’t paid, it was like starting up a business, and forced me to explore and use qualities which had previously remained dormant. Like writing, and hustling.

我的第一份工作对于塑造我对收获财富的看法至关重要。我从事的是奢侈品珠宝的销售。我的基本工资是每小时6.75英镑,每周工作16个小时（周六和周日），在那里工作了几个月之后，我工作的非常顺手，以至于我每个月都能完成目标而获得奖金。所以即使我还在学校上学的时候，我每个月就已经能赚500到700英镑了。
我16岁时就买了人生中的第一个普拉达品牌的包，因为我当时身上有足够的现金，但是我当时却没有足够的头脑想着去投资比特币。而我的第二份工作根本就没有报酬，我当时主要是建立一个布里斯托大学版的《她的校园》杂志，这份工作导致我从资源工作者一跃成为了资源创造者。虽然没有报酬，但这就像创业一样，迫使我去探索和利用以前那些被搁置的品质。比如我很喜欢写作，喜欢忙忙碌碌等。

After this, I started up my own website using these very same skills, because I figured ‘why do it for someone else’?This website became a key factor in me getting an internship on my year abroad at a digital communications agency. Which brings us to…
Content + Digital Marketing intern, 700 EUR/Month
This was one of the best learning curves of my career thus far. The agency I worked for was really smart when it came to using your time and determining its worth.
When I left, I was no longer scared of my words, nor did I doubt my ability to wield them. Beyond this, I had a true sense of how much my time was worth, even if I wasn’t being paid that much whilst being an intern.
Copywriter and freelancer, 50–100 EUR/hour
Upon leaving I promptly negotiated for the same agency to pay me as a freelancer to continue working for them. I then doubled this to 50 EUR/hour (bear in mind that I was still at university, where many fellow students were being paid 12GBP per hour for bartending jobs).
I then started freelancing for clients who would pay me 100EUR per hour for my expertise (somehow, I had actually acquired enough of this that my insights were useful to them. Thank you, universe!) I still do this, but much more on a consultancy basis to help businesses improve their social media + content strategies.

在这之后，我用同样的技能建立了属于我自己的网站，因为我在想，为什么要为别人这么做？而不能为自己做一个呢？最后，这个网站成为了我在国外一家数字通信公司实习的关键因素。我当时的职位是内容+数字营销的实习生，每个月700欧元，这段经历是我迄今为止的职业生涯中最好的学习进步路线了。我工作过的那家机构真的很聪明，他们很善于利用你的时间，并决定它的价值。
所以当我离开的时候，我不再害怕自己的言辞，也不再怀疑自己有没有能力驾驭他们。除此之外，尽管我在做实习生的时候拿不到很多的薪水，但我对自己的时间的价值有了真正的认识。而广告文案和自由撰稿人，他们每个小时的报酬是50-100欧元。所以我离开后，我就立即与同一家公司进行了协商，让我继续为他们工作，他们付给我自由撰稿人的报酬就行了。
最后我将价格翻倍至每小时50欧元了（你要知道我当时还在上大学，我当时有许多同学在做酒保的工作，而他们每小时只能赚12英镑的报酬）。然后我开始做自由职业者，他们会每小时付给我100欧元（不知何故，我实际上已经获得了足够的专业知识，我的洞察力对他们是有用的。谢谢你,世界！）我现在还在做这个，但更多的是做咨询，帮助企业改善社交媒体+内容策略的基础。

Information Technology sales
I leveraged all the experience I had already acquired whilst at university (this included being a tutor, setting up HC Bristol, setting up my own website, working for a small ethical startup, commanding decent wage as a freelancer, being a sales rep for Molton Brown, etc etc) to get an entry level sales job in IT, at 37,000 EUR per year. This was based in Cork, Ireland. I had considered jobs in the UK but wanted to go abroad first.
This salary later progressed to 50,000 EUR over the next year,.
I then decided I wanted to move back to the UK, and got a job where 50,000 was my full salary
Do I feel happy with it?
Yes, but not because of the actual money I’m earning.
The reason I feel happy about it is because I’m 23, and all the crazy and ridiculous things I did over the last four years have taught me huge amounts about the currency of the universe (which is trust, by the way) and how to leverage your way in and out of things.
While at university, I spent so little time studying that sometimes I would skip lectures and go to fashion events in London, which I was paid to attend and write about. There were some lectures and seminars I had never attended during my final year…
I then went on to get a 2:1 degree, which was the same degree that many of my contemporaries got whilst swotting in the library.
So yes, it feels satisfying to get what you worked for, and beyond that to understand that this is just the beginning.
In the words of Tom Lehrer, ‘Life is like a sewer, you get out of it what you put into it’.

信息技术销售：
我充分利用了我在大学时获得的所有经验（包括做家教，创办HC Bristol，建立自己的网站，为一个有道德的小公司工作，作一个自由职业者，拥有体面的薪水，做一个销售代表，比如Molton Brown等），获得了一份IT行业的入门级销售工作，年薪3.7万欧元。
这个公司位于爱尔兰的科克。我曾考虑过在英国找工作，但还是想去一次国外。但是在接下来的一年，这个薪水增加到了5万欧元。最后我决定搬回英国，找到了一份工作，工资是5万英镑。
我对此感到满意吗？是的，我很满意，但这不是因为我赚了很多的钱。我很高兴的原因是，在我23岁时，过去四年里我做的所有疯狂和荒谬的事，教会了我很多关于货币的知识，教会了我很多关于这个世界的知识（顺便说一下，这就是信任）以及如何利用你的资金买卖的事情。
在大学期间，我花了很少的时间在学习上，我有时会翘课，跑去伦敦参加时尚活动，因为有人付钱让我去参加并写一篇关于这方面内容的文章。所以有一些讲座和研讨会，我在最后一年从来没有参加过，但我最后还是获得了二级甲等学位，这学位和我的同学一样，但这是我的同龄人在图书馆努力学习才得到的奖励。所以，是的，当你努力的东西全都得到了以后，你会感到很满足，但是除此之外，你要明白，这只是一个开始。用汤姆莱勒的话说：“生活就像一根管子，你放了什么进去，就会得到什么”。
Anna Fudiana (安莉), House Maid and Caregiver for an Elderly (2018-present)

I made 8,896$ last year. I work as house maid, take care of an elderly and also grow vegetables in Taiwan. I work every single day, and only allowed to take day-off only one day per month, and it’s only about 15 hours at day time!!
Are you happy with your salary? Yes, I’m happy with my salary, because working as it in Taiwan is paid well more than in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the salary of being a house maid we usually get is just about 1,543$/year. I get more and I can save more here in Taiwan.

安娜·富戴安娜，家庭女佣兼老年护理员（2018年至今）
我去年赚了8896美元。我在台湾做佣人，照顾老人，还种菜。我每天都在工作，每个月只能休息一天，而且每天要工作15个小时！
你问我对我的薪水满意吗？是的，我对我现在的薪水很满意，因为在台湾工作的薪水比在印度尼西亚高。在印度尼西亚，女佣的年薪通常只有1543美元。我在台湾赚的更多，而且还能省下很多钱。

Why would you like having this job? The reason is, I come from developing country, non-educated-well person and my family couldn’t afford my degree. Having loan from University is not available in Indonesia, except we take loan ourselves from the Bank itself. I’ve tried to get underprivileged scholarship but I didn’t have an opportunity to get one. So I decide to work for living.
At age 18 after graduated I was jobless for 4 months, then work at manufacture in another city in Indonesia, it’s Honda motorcycle wire-harness but the salary is under the minimum wage! I only make 1,843$/year with 9 hours work time 5 days. Live alone, rent small room & toilet, couldn’t eat well to save more money.
I’ve worked there for 15 months and out.I’ve tried to enroll a course to get a manufacture job in Japan, but they’ve rejected me because my high is too short. The requirement is minimum having 158cm height but mine is just 155cm and also I wear glasses which is big NO NO for them, they are not allow candidates to wear lenses either.Is there anything you can do? Don’t you have any skill? You know, thing happens and I’ve changed myself just for surviving, learn the lesson, and grow from it.

如果你问我为什么会喜欢这份工作呢？那是因为我来自发展中国家，我并没有受过良好的教育，因为我的家庭负担不起我的学费。在印度尼西亚贷款上大学是不可能的事，除非我们自己从银行贷款。我试过申请贫困生奖学金，但是没有机会。所以我决定为了生活而工作。
所以自从我18岁毕业了以后，我就失业了4个月，最后我在印度尼西亚的另一个城市里找了一份机械制造的工作，它是本田摩托车生产线，但薪水低于最低工资！我每周工作5天，每天工作9个小时，一年只能挣到1843美元。我自己一个住，所以我租了一个小房子，里面只有一个小房间和一个厕所，我为了省钱每天都吃不饱。
我在那里工作了15个月，最后我尝试着报了一门课程，想在日本找份制造业的工作，但他们拒绝了我，因为我的身高太矮了。他们要求的最低身高是158厘米，但是我的身高只有155厘米，而且我还戴着眼镜，这对他们来说是很严重的问题，而且他们也不允许求职者戴隐形眼镜。所以，我还能做点什么呢？我没有任何技能。你要知道，事情已经发生了，为了生存，我不得不改变自己，并从中吸取教训，努力获得成长。

I used to make vector when I was school and I was into painting since High School, but back then my ability wasn’t being appreciated well. I realized, and it made me become someone else who only seek an opportunity to get a job and get money.At least now I can help myself, my lovely Mum, younger sister & family, right?It’s been 3 years working in here. Beside working every single day, I also advancing my English & Chinese myself. B1 in English and HSK 3 in Chinese. My current HSK level I’ve been studying is HSK 4, just 350 Hanzi left to go.
Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been thinking to pursue my degree and passion. My personality now is more into Analytics. Need to save money for months to get laptop to take online course then. Wish me luck!

我上学的时候画过矢量图，从高中开始我就迷上了绘画，但那时我的能力并没有得到很好的赏识。这时候我忽然意识到，我变了，变成了一个只想着找工作赚钱的人。但至少我现在可以帮助我自己，帮助我可爱的妈妈，帮助我的妹妹和家人，对吗？
我在这里工作了三年。每天除了工作，我还在努力提高自己的英语和汉语水平。我现在英语等级是B1级了，汉语HSK是三级。我现在在学 hsk 四级的汉语，只剩350个汉字了。从今年年初开始，我就一直在考虑攻读学位的事情，因为我现在的性格更倾向于分析。我需要存几个月的钱才能用上笔记本电脑，上一些在线课程。所以祝我好运吧！

Edit 1 :
Mind blowing! 1.2k upvotes! Thanks for your support guys. I appreciate you a lot!! I just want to add some upxe since I wasn’t aware about telling you that I am Indonesian living in Taiwan. The minimum annual wage salary here is 10,117$[1], and yes my paycheck is under the minimum wage while I work since I wake up and before I go to sleep again. I have never had an opportunity to take a long holiday to see my parents in Indonesia in this last 3 years. However my contract will last until September this year.
I’ve bought a tablet Samsung S6 Lite on June last year and I have been having some courses on edX (tech), Coursera (Spanish, Chinese, English, Marketing). Udemy (English, Spanish, German), Youtube (HSK Chinese, IELTS). Duolingo (been off because I couldn’t pass Diamond League), Khan Academy(Math), Memrise (Chinese, Spanish, Polish, German, Japanese),And then another apps for IELTS & HSK. Less sometime I study Cambridge Pure Math textbook. I handwrite Chinese on my tablet for 3 lesson of 3 Hanzi minimum in a day.
They are definitely a lot and I maintain my spare time to study three or four of them in a day but sometime I only take two. And I still communicate to my family, close friends and PenPals friends.
I will try to save money until June to buy a Lenovo Legion 5i. I’m excited!!

补充1：真是太不可思议了，我现在已经有1.2 万个赞了！谢谢你们的支持。真的是太感谢了！我只是想再补充一点我的最新情况，因为我不知道我有没有告诉你，我是住在台湾的印尼人。这里的最低年薪是10117美元，是的，我的薪水低于最低工资标准，我每天都起早贪黑的去工作，而且在过去的三年里，我从来都没有机会去印度尼西亚看望我的父母。
不过我的合同到今年9月份就到期了。我在去年6月份，买了一台三星S6 Lite平板电脑，现在我一直在上一些课程，包括edX、Coursera（西班牙语、中文、英语、市场营销）的课程。Udemy（英语、西班牙语、德语）、Youtube （HSK中文、雅思）。Duolingo，可汗学院（数学），Memrise（中文，西班牙语，波兰语，德语，日语），然后还申请了雅思和HSK。有时候我还会去学剑桥纯数学的教科书。我每天至少要在写字板上手写三节课的中文。他们肯定写的比我还要多，我一直保持在我的业余时间里一天学习3到4节课，但有时我只学习了2节课。我仍然和我的家人、好朋友和笔友保持着密切的联系。我会尽量攒钱到6月份买一台联想Legion 5i。一想到这些我就感到很兴奋！

EDIT 2:
I’m honored with your support guys, some of you intend to donate me to afford a laptop/certificate course, but I am truly sorry because I can not take it from you. I am here to inform you 2 upxes :
TODAY MY LAPTOP HAS BEEN ARRIVED HERE, and TONIGHT I WILL UNBOX IT, I’M SO EXCITED. I was going to buy legion 5i Intel i7 16G Ram but I changed it to Intel i5 8GB RAM, I’ve already asked to my two engineer friends that they suggested me with i5 and 8GB is okay, so I purchased it yesterday. It is way too early from my plan because of number 2 news down here.
Two days ago I’ve enrolled to an entrance test for an online undergraduate program of BINUS University[2]. I’ll take Undergraduate program of Information System. And my test will be held on 24th April via Zoom. Its way of sudden and I only have 4 days to study for the test. If I can make it then I will be studying there on June, but If I can not make it then I will try to enroll again on September this year. Wish me luck!
Thanks million, and I love you guys! ?

补充2：有你们的支持我感到很荣幸，你们中有些人打算给我捐赠笔记本电脑和在线课程，但真的很抱歉，因为我不能接受这些帮助。我在这里告诉你们2个最新的情况：今天我的笔记本电脑已经到了，我今晚就要开始用它，我觉得特别开心。我本来打算买legion 5i Intel i7 16G Ram的，但我把它换成了Intel i5 8GB Ram，我已经问过我的两个工程师朋友了，他们建议我使用i5和8GB Ram，所以我昨天就买了。虽然这离我的计划还为时过早。两天前，我报名参加了宾纳斯大学的在线本科项目的入学考试。我会选择信息系统专业。我的测试将在4月24日通过Zoom进行。这是突然发生的，所以我只有4天的时间来准备考试。如果我能做到，那么我将在6月份在那里学习，但如果我不能通过测试，那么我将在今年9月再次尝试。祝我好运吧！万分感谢，我爱你们！

我每年都会在希腊呆上一个月（从5月到6月，因为那里物价很便宜，也不算拥挤)，这样我就可以帮我父母一点忙了。我以前经常去夜店玩，那个地方很贵，但我现在更愿意去便宜的荒野地区（山区），因为这样更省钱，这样我就有钱为公寓每月支付55欧元的家政服务费用了（这是我信任的一家当地小公司，他们有钥匙，有4名员工，如果他们来了，只需要两个小时，就能让整个房间变得干干净净的。他们使用自己的专业清洁产品）。
我一般不付房租（这是一个很大的优势），我花了20欧元买了一个千兆的互联网+电视，还支付了20欧元买了两部手机，我平均每个月要支付90欧元的街区管理费（主要是用于支付水，煤气，电梯，电力和大楼的清洁等费用）。我每个月要交40欧元的电费，不超过200欧元的煤气费，因为我和我的伴侣都在家工作。我通常在1月份预订，并预付50%的费用，这样我就能负担得起我假期里的一切费用了，有时候我会去很酷的餐厅，两个人大约花60到80欧元，也许一周去一次（也许会更少）。我和我的朋友们经常会去便宜的学生餐厅喝啤酒，因为那里有好吃的食物和便宜的啤酒。

我的祖父在湖边的山上给我留下了1200平方米的土地，所以，我开始为我的生态山区小屋存钱了（我想我需要存3年才能开始经营我的生态山小屋）。我的银行账户里已经没有钱了（我主要就是靠工资度日），为了我的山间小屋项目，我开始用存钱，但我每个月的存款不能超过80-120欧元。我喜欢烹饪（主要是肉，干熟肉，牛排，烧烤等）。
我更喜欢拥有一台非常好的笔记本电脑，而不是一部普通的手机（当苹果推出Iphone8的时候，我花了300欧元买了一部Iphone 6S Plus）。

I always get sad when i see poverty and i do my small part in helping out(very small part I must admit)

I live in Toronto, ON. I am a real estate agent and own a real estate company in Toronto, I am also an investor.
Being in real estate, my salary varies. Last year (2019), my annual salary from just real estate was around $1.8 million (CAD).

我住在安大略省的多伦多。我是一名房地产经纪人，我在多伦多拥有一家房地产公司。
我也是一个投资者。
在房地产行业，我的薪水每年都不一样。就比如去年（2019年），我的年薪仅来自房地产部分的收益就达到了180万加元。

I have made investments globally, mostly in real estate. Well I shouldn’t say globally, because I have invested my money in only three different countries; Canada, USA, and back home, Pakistan. Rent in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is unbelievably higher compared to other countries and provinces. This is because properties have a greater value and the value of a property increases. This is also why I have invested most of my money in the GTA. In the GTA alone I own and have purchased in cash 24 properties, over 20 years in the real estate industry. These properties bring me around $65k monthly.

我在全球范围内都有投资，但主要是在房地产领域。我不应该说全球都有，因为我只在三个国家投资过：分别是加拿大，美国，还有我的家乡巴基斯坦。
多伦多和大多伦多地区（GTA）的房租比其他国家和地区的要高很多。这也是为什么我把大部分钱，都投资在了多伦多上了。仅在GTA我就以现金购买了24处房产，这远远超过了我在房地产工作20年赚的钱。这些房产每个月会给我带来约6.5万美元的收入。

In America, I haven’t made many investments, but I have bought a few properties in Miami (our vaca spot), Houston, and Charlotte. In these three states, I have bought 11 properties. They bring me around $30k monthly. Back home in Pakistan I havent made many investments but I made the purchase I am most proud of in my entire life, a home for my parents. Actually, I surprised them with a home. In Pakistan, houses are pretty cheap compared to Toronto; you can buy a 10’000 sq ft home on an acre land for around $800k (Cad) there, compared to a few million here in Toronto. My parents were looking at houses in the $300k (cad) range, not very big houses. I hadn’t told them how much I wanted to spend and kept it a surprise. So, I went in March 2018 to Pakistan with the intention to buy my parents a house. We went around many neighborhoods and areas and decided we wanted to buy a home in a gated community (DHA). Homes in this area at the lowest were around $400k, but they were big houses. So, as we drove around DHA we found a house that was around 10’000 sq ft that was $750k (cad). My parents were blown away with this house, but they obviously knew and thought it was too expensive and I couldn’t get them that house. I knew that day that I was gonna buy them and surprise them with that house.
This is the house I bought them with cash. I have also bought my brother a house here in the GTA because he had filed for bankruptcy, and was gonna be homeless with a family of 4.

在美国，我没做多少投资，但我已经在迈阿密（我们的度假胜地）、休斯顿和夏洛特这三个州，买了11处房产。他们大概每个月会给我带来3万美元的收益。在巴基斯坦的时候，我没有进行很多投资，但是我买了我一生中最骄傲的买卖，那就是为我的父母买了一个房。
事实上，我给了他们一个惊喜。在巴基斯坦，房子比多伦多便宜很多。在那里你可以只用80万加币就能买到一个1万平方英尺的房子，而在多伦多就要几百万。我父母当时在看的房子不是很大的，只要30万美元。我没有告诉他们我想花多少钱，因为这是我给他们的一个惊喜。所以我2018年3月去了巴基斯坦，打算给我父母买栋房子。我们走访了许多社区和地区，最后我们决定在一个封闭社区（DHA）买一套房子。这个地区最便宜的房子大约是40万美元，但都是大房子。所以，当我们开车在DHA附近兜风的时候，我们发现了一个大约1万平方英尺的房子，价格是75万加元。我父母对这房子很满意，但他们觉得这房子太贵了，我肯定买不起。但是，就在那天，我就知道我会买下这座房子，并给他们一个惊喜。
这是我全款给他们买的房子。我还在这里给我弟弟买了一套房子，因为他申请了破产，他们一家四口都无家可归了。

Because of these reasons, I am certainly happy with how much money God has given me and thank him everyday. As I have a high rental income, I am also thinking of retirement, only being 45 years old. Going back to my salary, last year I made $1.8 million from my company and around $1.2 million from my investments; $3 million. I haven’t retired yet and this year, 2020, I have made around $500k in these 4 months. Although, due to the coronavirus, I will be losing a lot of money, I will have to decrease rent from all my properties and my real estate has surely slowed down. My income wont be near $1.8 million in 2020. I have also lost around $600k in the stock market. Although, God is with us and I pray to get through this horrific pandemic.

因为这些原因，所以我很感谢上帝给了我这么多的钱，我每天都在感谢他。因为我的租金收入很高，虽然我只有45岁，但我已经在考虑退休了。回到我的薪水上面来，去年我从公司赚了180万美元，其中大约120万美元来自于我300万美元的投资。在2020年，我已经在这4个月里赚了50万美元了。不过，由于新型冠状病毒的影响，我损失了很多钱，我不得不降低我所有的房租，我的房地产市场的经济发展毫无疑问也已经在慢慢放缓了。所以2020年，我的收入不会再达到180万美元了。我在股市也损失了大约60万美元。但尽管如此，我还是相信上帝与我们同在，我祈祷我们都能平安的度过这场可怕的疫情。
