Many moons ago I worked for the government. We were paid in "grades". I was a seasonal employee & the other seasonals & I were all paid the same. We could see on the grid system what our boss was paid & the levels of pay. It was all public information.

Now looking back, this makes me wonder more about this post I started. How income can effect our lives & how we feel about ourselves in general.

Does your income effect your self worth??? To many I think it does. My issue right now is that I'm a SAH mom. I don't have a pay scale or measure of self worth.
Some might say, well your pay is getting to stay home & be with the kids & helping out at home etc etc.
but many see worth in ourselves according to a paycheck. There is always that pull to jump on the gerbil wheel & chase after the Almighty dollar.

Thoughts?
