Dwarvend: ok lang naman magbayad ng ta, kaso nga lang sobrang laki parang gatasan na talaga tayo ng gobyerno kasi lahat ng gov't own na business eh ibinenta kaya wala na silang kita para pang fund sa mga project, kaya ayon sa atin na mismo gusto kunin lahat pati yung kanilang pamasahe pang tour sa iba't ibang bansa sigh (OT) sensiya na nadala hehehe.
100K up ayos na sakin kung hindi na tataas ang mga presyo ng bilihin.... pero sa tingin ko no choice pa rin talaga...
Can you trace your money to the pockets of these politicians? I can't. Anyway I don't want to argue, you guys know how rabid I can get when it comes to this topic. Pakabait muna ko ^_^
Seriously though:
Is 100K constant, or is it a target at some point in your career? If it's constant, it's a big pile of bull crap. It should be target at a certain point in your career.
If so, when? 5 years? 7 years? 10 years into your career? Think about it very well -- but it is more important to think about...
Where are you now? A mere two and a half years ago a 100K/mo salary net seems intangible to me but lately I have been feeling that it appears... possible. Can I reach it in a year? Doubt it. Can I reach that in, say, three, four years? Pwede... but the more important question is:
How? Will you get there by working as an employee, or setting up your own business? Will you get there by working in your current company, or by joining some other company?
Let's jog our minds people! It's more important that we learn how to get the most out of possibilities and opportunities and benefit from those instead of wallow in the intricacies of taxation and corrupt governance!
