Money matters

Money --money is something everybody looks for.but i started feeling like being in s/w firm money has reduces its importance........ if some one tells you that person earns 4 LPA then its like ok ok package....
In our college campus i have seen students just don't appear for companys offering 12-13 k per month..... ( I m also one of them) but why this tendency has been changed so much........... and does 4 LPA really mean OK OK package i think answer is YES
YES because if you go to watch one movie on week end with one of your friend then it will cost you 1000 , 180 rs is movie ticket then snacks etc etc.....
yes recently PVR cinemas rates reached to 180 .... so is that money worth spending ... No ...but then I m already staying away from my family... working so hard to keep myself up in this rat race........... 12 hrs a day i sit in front of stupid PC cant i afford one movie per week ........... sure you can.......... so if you see person earning 7-8K per month an staying in towns and we as s/w engg in metros earning 25-30 K per month at the end of year in same situation.After cutting high rents, hotelling , phone bills etc what you expect to remain back.
fine Earning wise you are at least equating person in town but what about pleasure ?what about time for your family? what about health? i think this town guy is far ahead than you.
He doesn't need to travel 2 hrs a day to reach to his office so he has that much time extra, no need of going thro stressful life ...tensions to carry at home, always seeing bugs in front of you so good health........and important is he is with family complete family.we lack behind for all this.
so some times when i think of all these points i can't stop myself of thinking to quit this and go home.
but yes there is but .... but then i see all other things i got thro this profession, would have been it possible for me to travel on plane , could i had seen all 5 * hotels , could i have dreamed bout US/UK ... i am getting to see world with different eye here... so there are pros and cons of both... rather than jumbling in to confusion one have to decide what one wants..... it totally depends on your thinking what you want and how you want to go about your life.
Do you want to work real hard and get recognised and promoted , earn more and be happy or work from 9-6 get back home have time for self..........its choice you have to make...... don't try to get both because in that case you will not be happy........ something like this i tell myself..... try to figure out what i want....... without any answer and more confusion.....
