"The trouble is, you think you have time." Jack Kornfield
We all make choices, with time, some good & some bad. Today we hear about work/life balance. I understand the concept & it is important to me as well I look around in our now "Post Covid World" & think about many of the professionals that I speak with. It seems work/life balance is the thing that most talk to me about when making career decisions & few are interested in learning about competitors. I often wonder why professional curiosity is not more prevalent with regard to how other employers conduct their business, how a different firm my value their skills, and if another company may provide them with more flexibility, compensation, support, etc.
The impact of a 10% increase in wages is staggering. Consider an employee earning $135K obtaining a 10% raise. That would be $13.5K or $1125 monthly. That is substantial, even if you feel like you are living well today. Additionally, if that money were invested monthly at 2.5% return you would have accumulated $153K in tax free earnings in a qualified savings plan for their education.
Would that make an impact on the life of your children? Don't let the time get away.
