"Show Me The Money!"

Getting Paid More Increases Motivation.


Money has been recognized as one of the many factors that affect our motivation. Finance and Psychology are usually treated as two very separate fields of study, but they frequently intermingle in everyday life because money affects a large portion of our behavior and mentality.

Money is a very significant part of modern living. Although the value of money varies for different people, it is generally valued as an object of prestige and survival that can be applied for uses of leisure as well as necessity. Hence it is something that most people either desperately need or wish to possess. The fact that most people switch jobs because of better pay statistically demonstrates just how much money affects a person's choice of work.

In conclusion, it is reasonable to say that money is an effective motivator at work. Money is a means to fulfill our need for survival as well as our want for leisure. Whereas most people wish to also enjoy their work, money acts as a primary stimulus in terms of making people feel rewarded for their services. If your priority in life is to live the way you want then finding a job that gives you financial independence has got to be your first step towards freedom. Of course, nothing beats making money doing something that you love and I'm glad that I am able to use writing as a decent source of income.
