Primary Income

The amount of money coming in is important, and the majority would believe the most important. There are so many people who are living paycheck to paycheck and are asleep to some crazy realities. One of the faulty thoughts of going to school getting good grades and getting out to get the good job is that it just doesn't work. Don't get me wrong it does short-term but here are a few problems with it:

1) The turnover in jobs is huge, even prior to the recession.
2) the security of the 401k and company retirement really doesn't exist anymore
3) Employee mindset is to work as hard is it takes
4) The employer mindset is to pay just as much as they can (bottom line thinking)
5) Initiative to develop new skills comes from fear of being past over (re active), not from bringing more value to the table (pro active)
6) The company is always replacing inefficiency (aging employees with young scenario)
7) The employee has no security who knows what could happen
8) Life happens, and a Boss may or may not be able to accommodate for life
9) The primary income never keeps up with the inflation of the currency/cost of living so the lifestyle deteriorates over time
10) The government always gets first cut of the income earned

Jobs are necessary, don't misconstrue what I am saying. It is just all to painfully clear that they are not enough. The bottom line is that the true security does not occur during one's 9-5 job, it occurs in ones 5-9 activities.
