Questions from Listeners:
I haven’t really wanted to weigh in on the minimum wage debate. I remember the exact same arguments over the past 35 years -- people can’t support a family on minimum wage. The comeback is, “of course not, minimum wage jobs are not designed for heads of household.” The cruel fact is, the minimum wage doesn’t matter and it never has. I remember discussing this with a mentor of mine when the argument was about raising the minimum wage to $7.50/hr. I asked him his thoughts. He replied, “that’s fine if you don’t mind paying $3.00 for a loaf of bread.” This is the most succinct description of the consequences of minimum wage hikes I’ve ever heard. It perfectly encapsulates the reality that if we raise required minimum wages, business owners will be forced to raise prices. Once the prices are raised, the net effect, in terms of buying power, will be zero.
Here’s another tough love fact for you today. You are never going to become wealthy by demanding more money from your employer. Everyone listening to me has a chance to become wealthy, but you will only do so by making yourself more valuable. If you make yourself a valuable commodity, I PROMISE you someone will notice. Good help is hard to find, GREAT ASSETS are like treasured jewels. Get knowledge, gain skills, grow in wisdom, and opportunities will find their way to you.
Motivational Quote: “You won’t grow wealthy by demanding more pay. If you want to grow wealthy, make yourself more valuable.”
