Um den Privatier-Thread nicht zu stören, poste ich einen netten Vergleich von Jacob, dem Autor von EarlyRetirementExtreme, hier:
Zitat:
Imagine that ice cream was the sole purpose of life. Now, most people would be working hard to make 4 ice cream cones. They would then proceed to drop one on the ground on their way home (thats the cost of transportation, more of less, at 20%), lose another one in one of their many bedrooms (thats the cost of large housing, another 25%), and after eating one, decide that that was good enough, put the one in the fridge and then forget it was there (that is pretty much the stuff everybody buys and never use). Now excuse me for being dense, but what would the purpose be to ask your boss for more responsibility or negotiate a higher salary, for instance, a 5th ice cream cone if all it did in general was perhaps to allow you to lose it on the way one, forget it in the bathroom, or drop it in your garage?
Yes, I know it is an affront not to want to make more of them. If I say I only make one ice cream cone, people will think I am starving and eating dirt because clearly I am a clutch like everyone else and drop my food all over without getting to eat it and with only one cone it seems impossible that I would get to eat it. I know that. I have tried to explain that one only needs to be careful with the one cone and then thats all you really need and we both have ice cream, but apparently I am not the only one being dense
