Paying Fixed Bills With a See-Saw Salary

There are several challenges to being part of today's fast changing horizons where mortgage rates remain fixed and yet monthly salaries can go up and down like a see-saw. Folks wonder what happens to surveys that shout for raises?

More and more people tell you they find themselves working for many bosses, for few peanuts, with different demands, for multiple tasks expected. Does your salary still pay your bills?  So you try to piece work together from several cutting edge sources – just to do what you can in uncertain times. It’s a real challenge for
several reasons. seesaw-01.jpg

1. Technology across your many jobs keeps changing weekly, and from many complex directions. It's complicated by the fact that you must use many systems, from several organizations, to make one salary adequate enough to pays the bills.

2. Each leadership group can get people a dime a dozen to help their profits - as the markets seem glutted with qualified workers – all without their mortgage payments.

3. Leaders can drop your benefits, reduce your salary, and even let you go – when there goals did not work out as profits, and without much notice to let you adjust before the next raft of bills arrive.

It’s a volatile market out there today, and many talented, faithful workers struggle for enough security to pay the basic monthly bills.

Fortunately there are answers. Here are a few questions that will help you find  best answers for you – in order to interact with the best minds out there in ways that pay your bills.

1. Am I doing what I am called and gifted to do? Rather than just pay the bills, look for work that holds purpose, and passion for you.

2. Have I covered financial bases so that no one employer can cause my home to be repossessed? That comes from storing a small emergency fund, diversifying who you work for, and teaming with people you trust, who share similar philosophies.

3. Ask for specific directions when people who need new skills from you – send their requirements for your technology updates. Compare the correlation between all new learning and effort they ask of you - and the monthly remuneration you receive for all this effort.

If you balance your output, use of talents, and remuneration received, you will likely find ways to give your best and still keep a house wrapped around you while you work in this sometimes unfair – and fast paced work environment.

I hope those who hire you will help lead the market back into a balance that not only benefits more from your talents ... but also remunerates your offerings. What do you think?
