The annual income is 200,000, and after 10 years of hard work, it is only 2 million. What is the meaning of life?

Money is the result or means for you to realize the meaning of life, but it should not be the meaning of your life.

Nowadays, many people are so overwhelmed by the information on the Internet that they feel that 2 million or 3 million is not a thing at all. Then I look back at my salary and feel that my life is meaningless.

2 million, for a person with a net worth of hundreds of millions, is naturally a small thing. I once interviewed a local boss and chatted until I lost more than 1 million playing mahjong in one night. He said it was a bit too much and he was scolded by his wife. From now on, he would play a game of ten thousand. (Of course I believe that with 10,000, he can lose one million in one night)

But for ordinary people, 2 million is a lot. According to the current risk-free interest rate of 5%, 1 100,000 per year, 8,300 per month. In other words, you can earn the average salary in Shanghai by just lying at home. I think this is not bad. If a child from an ordinary family can do this, no one can laugh at him.

But the key question is what is a person’s goal in this life?

I think there are many good things about basic education in China, but one disadvantage is that it ultimately produces young people with extremely consistent and highly quantified goals from top to bottom. In the schooling stage, the goal is scores, and 600 points is better than 599 points. Once you get to work and the points are gone, you start comparing quantifiable wages. I guess when I get old, I will have to live longer than anyone else.

In fact, it will be quite confusing to define your life with money. It is easy for the person in question to be in the embarrassing situation of "only" saving 2 million after working for 20 years. After all, there are too many news nowadays about the CEO of OFO in his 20s with a net worth of tens of billions and the CEO of Mobike in his 30s with tens of billions in cash.

In addition, if the goal is only to make money, the guidance is too poor. 360 line, you can make money by doing business, you can make money by delivering express, you can make money by doing finance, you can make money by doing computer work, which one do you choose?

I personally feel that the goals of life can be diversified. Choosing some goals that are not defined by money may make people more fulfilling and even allow you to make more money.

For example, you can make doing a good job in a certain career your life goal. Like Jobs and Buffett, do you think they are doing Apple and investing to make money? If he really wants to make money and enjoy himself, why would Buffett live in Omaha, a large rural area in the United States, for more than 50 years? Of course, our goals don’t need to be so ambitious. Aren’t they all good to be the best local cook, the most knowledgeable accountant in the company, and the best writer in the unit?

For another example, you can choose to find a good partner, live a good life, and have a harmonious family as your life goals. Then you should exercise well, increase your attractiveness, socialize widely, go to work well after finding a wife, and use the money you earn to support your family well. Be filial to your parents and take good care of your children. This is also a goal. Look at this warm study, doesn’t it smell good?

Even if you are addicted to materialism, you want to live in the biggest house, chase the most beautiful girls, and smoke the best cigars. Watching pigeons in Paris today and watching the sunset in Milan tomorrow is also a life goal. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Make money and spend it as hard as you can, and never regret it for the rest of your life.

The small town of Fort William in Scotland has a few thousand people in it. What’s wrong with going there?

But if you only think about saving money, then you will live a lifeless life and become a Grandet. The process of making money will not be happy, and you will only feel heartache when you spend money. That is really So sad.

The above is my answer, I hope it will be helpful to you

I used to have the same income as you, and I also had the same income as you I have the same idea, and I was once confused. I felt like I was earning 200,000 a year, but only 2 million in 10 years. I felt that time was too slow. In fact, it was because my ambitions and desires had become bigger, but once I had such an idea, it was a It’s a double-edged sword, let me tell you my experience and opinions

I graduated from college in 2011. At that time, I could earn three to four thousand a month. What I wanted was to earn six thousand a month. With a salary of RMB 1,000, I can own a house of my own in the city. I feel that this is the ideal life and a happy life. Later, I worked hard and through my own efforts, I became the director of the company in 2015. At that time, the annual salary was basically more than 200,000. I had my own house and car in the city, and I was married to a wife and had children. In the eyes of outsiders, I am happy and lucky. But as time goes by, I have the same doubts as the original poster. I feel that life is very confusing. It is not the life I want. I feel that it takes 200,000 yuan a year to make 2 million yuan in 10 years, so I want to make more money. , I was extremely confident in myself at that time, and felt that I was someone who could do big things, and that what I wanted was to earn at least several million a year. Later, the entrepreneurial mentality took root in my psychology, and I basically drove to work every day. I fantasize about starting a company, being the boss, and earning millions a year.

In the end, I gave up my job as a manager of a large company with an annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan, and decided to start a business. At that time, my partners and I invested a total of more than 2 million yuan, and I invested more than 400,000 yuan to start the business. After starting the business, there was no income, and the company's performance was not good. It kept losing money. Basically, the company's monthly expenses were more than 200,000 yuan. Later, the partners had disagreements, differences in business ideas, and a series of problems such as the company's capital chain was broken. At that time, I was under a lot of pressure and couldn't sleep every night. Only then did I realize how lucky I was to earn 200,000 yuan a year at work. In the end, the company failed to survive and went bankrupt. As a result, I invested all my previous savings and was still in debt. .

After the company closed, I started working again for a period of time, and then started trying to do it slowly from a young age. I no longer had the blind confidence and optimism I had at the time, and now I feel more mature. I feel more at ease,

In fact, through all this experience, I feel what is the meaning of an annual salary of 200,000 yuan?

1. Being able to earn 200,000 yuan means that you already have a certain ability. After all, not many people earn 200,000 yuan in today’s society, but you must adjust your mentality and don’t lose yourself, because in addition to earning Money, we still have many meaningful things, such as spending time with our children, spending time with our families, traveling with our families, etc.

2. It is good to be ambitious, but it must be realistic, because Once people become ambitious, they will lose themselves. You must stay clear-headed under any circumstances, but I still recommend staying steady and not making the same mistakes I made before

I hope my sharing can be helpful to you

Life is not just a process of walking around in the world. Whether you are rich or poor depends on your own desires. Everyone’s understanding and pursuit of life are different. For you The annual income of 200,000 yuan can be said to be more than enough, and it can be said to be a well-off life. If you want to live a more comfortable life, try to get 500,000 yuan or more. Life depends on your efforts in action, and positivity is the need for optimism in life.

I am particularly touched by this issue. Because I was young and frivolous and had this understanding. And I'm even more arrogant than you. When I was in school, I felt that if I didn't eat or drink for a year, I would be left with 500,000 yuan, and it would only take 10 years to earn 5 million yuan. It's not even enough to buy a small villa in Shanghai, and the speed of making money is too slow. Because I grew up in my uncle's house when I was young, I once promised him that I would give him a car worth more than one million yuan. After entering society, I was severely slapped in the face by reality, which hurt very much.

There are 365 days in a year, which is quite a long time. Earning 200,000 yuan sounds very simple. But it’s really difficult to actually do it.

The average monthly salary is 17,000. Excluding taxes, social security, etc., the monthly salary is 17,000, which is not enough for 200,000 in a year, and this is without food, drink, or expenses. In the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the per capita income is just over 10,000. Everyone understands that more than 80% of people are lagging behind in this number. Those with an annual income of 100,000 are less than 50%. The reason why the per capita salary is so high is that it has been leveled by some of the top rich. It seems that it is still very difficult for most people to earn 200,000 per year. Of course, an annual income of 200,000 yuan is really simple for a few capable people. The average daily income is more than 200,000 yuan. After all, such people are in the minority!

Speaking of now, we are all talking about money. Of course money is important to everyone. There is no doubt about this. Aren’t most people working hard every day just to make money? But the meaning of life cannot be all about making money. You can never make enough money. Teacher Zhao Benshan once said that the most terrible thing in life is: money is not spent after someone dies. We must not be slaves to money. It doesn’t matter how high the mountain is. Immortals are famous, and it doesn’t matter how much money we have. In addition to money, there are many things that are more important than money, such as family, love, friendship, health, character, etc. Many people are busy all their lives just to make money. Some people even sell their feelings, overdraw their health, and lose their character for money. "When a man passes, he leaves his name, and when a goose passes, he leaves a voice." People's reputation is also very important. There are only a few decades in life. In addition to making money, there are many meaningful things to do. Just let everything take its course and have a clear conscience.

Be upright and do things in a down-to-earth manner. Healthy and ordinary life is also a blessing! Some people have money but lose their health, which is more painful than not having money. Everyone has a different understanding of the meaning of life, and whatever they do is beneficial to society and the people. But at least it cannot violate morality or violate the law. I hope that after many years, future generations will know that you have been in this world and that you are a person worthy of admiration and respect from future generations.

The life experience of entering society has taught me that money is not the meaning of my life, but family, friendship, and love are.

I am an ordinary undergraduate student from Xinxiang City, Henan Province. I graduated in 2015, majoring in electronic information engineering (science and engineering).

Before graduation, I was confused about employment, so I took the postgraduate entrance examination. I believe that most of the students who took the postgraduate entrance examination were not very clear about how to use the knowledge in the classroom to monetize in this "society".

It is believed that higher education can lower the threshold for entering society.

After studying hard for a year, due to various reasons of my own, I failed the postgraduate entrance examination. The house leaked and it rained all night. The family suddenly fell ill, and almost all their savings were spent.

At this time, I had only one choice, which was to no longer insist on my dream of taking the postgraduate entrance examination and adapt to this society. With a dozen resumes, I participated in various campus recruitment and social recruitment.

I still remember seeing the interviewers in front of every company at the job fair, and my superficial youthfulness and inner timidity.

My first internship job at that time was at a local technology company in a fourth-tier city in the province. Due to my professionalism, I was doing hardware development work. The internship salary was 800 yuan, and the full-time salary was 2,000 yuan.

I did not survive the internship period at that time. Since I had to take care of my family, I resigned and was unemployed at home.

By a special opportunity, my friend asked me to go training on software development with him. The training would take half a year. At that time, this software development job was very popular.

I thought about it for three days, studied hard and seriously for half a year, and then entered the software development industry.

I worked in three technology companies in Shanghai for nearly four years, from an annual salary of 100,000 to 200,000.

From 2016 to 2020, I earned a total of more than 500,000 yuan.

From a life full of debt to a life that is not too compact, but with income there are expenses.

In terms of home decoration, my brother’s expenses from college to graduate school, my parents’ expenses, and my own expenses, I basically didn’t have any money left behind.

As a graduate, I have to take on everything at home. I thought about giving up many times along the way, but fortunately, I have friends, family and companies who are helpful and understanding. I am especially grateful to them.

Although I don’t have much money left, I have a warm new home, a younger brother who has graduated from graduate school, a happy and healthy family, and a girlfriend who is considerate and encouraging. I think this is what makes me happy. My true wealth.

As for 2 million in 10 years, even 5 million, this should be just a formula or number. Money cannot measure the meaning of our life!

Does 2 million in 10 years have no meaning?

This is obviously a problem that the current situation cannot satisfy one's desires. As the saying goes, you have indeed expanded!

This is Namtso Lake in Lhasa. Seeing its majesty and purity reminds me that our lives are really short, so cherish the moment!

I hope that we can all find our true selves, and by putting in time and efforts, we can not only achieve an expansion of material wealth, but most importantly, we can also achieve a harvest of three emotional aspects: friendship, family affection, and love, and the latter This is the meaning of life!

The meaning of life is to have love, to have the joy and beauty of constantly working hard and fulfilling one's responsibilities for one's own future.

I have been working for 27 years, and my salary is 4,700 per month, and it has only just gone up. But I feel like it’s good to be alive, especially in times like this.

In itself, my work is very meaningful. I love my job. I like classes and I also like students. In 2000, I led a class that was worse than other classes. There were two students whose entrance scores in Chinese and Mathematics together were only 11 points. In rural schools, there are few students, less than 30 people in the class. But it just fulfilled my teaching idea. I divided the students into three groups. Lead them to compete in reciting ancient poems and carry out various activities to explore their potential. The students are very happy, united and love our class. I was never late or absent from class. There were too many touching scenes. I kept a diary for them for three years, bought a camera and took photos of them for three years, including classes, activities, and labor. We took many open classes and participated in various activities: class presentations, gymnastics performances, artistic performances, reading performances, which inspired students' enthusiasm. The most important thing was that we made a comeback in the high school entrance examination and won the championship in one fell swoop. As I said, this period of junior high school life will become the students' eternal beautiful memories and become their spiritual home. During those three years, I was so tired that I often went to buy them small prizes on weekends. But it feels really meaningful. For a teacher, it is also a kind of pride, which I think is meaningful.

I like to write things. I am happy to read what I write. I want to share my words with more people. I have many dreams and I am running towards my dreams. I feel happy, motivated and meaningful every day.

For responsibility. I worked hard to make money and build a warm family for my children. Let your children grow up happily and healthily. He also has dreams, motivation and hard work. I feel like my life is worth living. I also have to do well for the sake of my children. Parents, it is not easy to give birth and raise oneself. I try my best to repay them and let them enjoy their old age. I also feel that life is meaningful. There is also a lover, if you can meet a gentle, sincere, hard-working person and face the ups and downs of life together, you will feel that this life has no regrets and is meaningful.

Money is very important. Help us fulfill our dreams. But there's more to life than just money, really.

I hope it can be enlightening for you.

To be honest, this income is already very good. People need to be content. This salary is already above average. There are many people who have worked for many years to reach this level. You should view it positively. This question.

You must have heard the story of the lotus law. It takes 29 days for the lotus pond to be half full, and it takes 30 days for the entire lotus pond to bloom. This tells us that success requires accumulation and precipitation, rather than being achieved overnight. In the same way, an annual salary of 200,000 yuan will only reach 2 million yuan in ten years. It depends on how you use the 200,000 yuan per year. For example, do you store the 200,000 yuan in the bank or invest it to let it appreciate. Of course, your understanding of money is different and your results are different. It all depends on you.

Also, the meaning of life is not only about making and saving money, but also about your interpretation of life, your pursuit of ideals, etc. Although money can solve many problems, if you cannot see through money The secret behind it, then you will eventually become a slave to money, and you will not be happy even if you have a lot of money in the future.

If the meaning of life is only linked to money, and an annual salary of 200,000 (US$30,000) is the standard for a meaningless life, then there should be no more than 30% of people in the world living a meaningful life, that is, It is said that 70% of people on earth live meaningless lives. I don’t know what these 70% of people think. I think making money is a meaningful thing, but it is not just making money that is meaningful to life, there should be many meaningful things. Otherwise, most people on the earth will live a meaningless life

The meaning of life is to live an ordinary life until old age. If you want to be prominent in front of others, you will have to suffer behind others. Don’t think that you are full of ambitions and unable to display your abilities. Life is like a spring. The lower you press it, the higher it bounces. How many people can withstand the helplessness and hesitation in the trough period? In this world, no one can Even twins with the same life experience will have different life trajectories. In fact, you are not asking what the meaning of life is, but you have an unsatisfied heart. Earning 200,000 per year may not be much, but I I don’t think it’s too small. Every class has its own worries. Do you think someone who earns 5 million a year doesn’t suffer? Does he think it’s not 50 million in ten years? He just has the same worries as you. Life is a long practice. , we walked to the end, very quickly, very quickly, very helpless.

First of all, what we need to think about is if the annual income is used as the standard for the meaning of life, then how much annual income does our life have meaning?

Let’s put aside such a lofty topic as the meaning of life for the time being. Let’s first discuss how much annual income can bring us a sense of satisfaction. For a newly graduated college student, an annual income of 20W is the dream of most people. According to the "Employment Blue Book: 2019 Chinese College Student Employment Report" released by the Max Research Institute, the current average monthly income of newly graduated college students is more than 5,000 yuan. , an annual salary of 20W is a lot of money for them. The above is just a small example. Objectively speaking, for people in many places and for people in many professions in society, an annual salary of 20W is not a small amount, and it is even an annual income that cannot be achieved in a lifetime. So why do some people not feel happy and satisfied even if they have an annual income of 20W? I think it is ultimately due to their own expectations. More importantly, this expectation is not static. If you feel that 20W is not enough, will 50W be enough? ? What about 100W? 20 years ago, Ma Yun's 1 million may have been a large amount of money to him, but now, 10 billion may not have any special feeling to him. If you always set expectations that exceed your current conditions, you will never feel satisfied and happy.

Next, let’s think about whether it is appropriate to use the amount of money as a measure of the meaning of life? What do we need money for? Buy a house, buy a car. . . It is undeniable that these physical objects exchanged for money can bring us satisfaction and happiness. Such satisfaction and happiness come from the improvement of one's own conditions or the vanity brought by comparing with others, but after a period of time, this feeling will return to Bland, a higher standard is needed to get a new round of excitement. So what we need is not money itself, but the sensory stimulation and experience that money brings to us. This type of experience requires constant investment of money if it continues, and will come to an abrupt end once there is no larger investment of money.

The meaning of life lies in experience. The experience brought by money is short-lived, and you have gone through a lot of hardships to do something. No matter whether you succeed or fail in the end, this experience will be unforgettable. You have a vigorous love, no matter whether you are in love or not in the end. They are all unforgettable, and your love for this world can always illuminate your heart. A person's life is a process of constantly creating your own experiences. When we leave this world, what we take with us is only the experience of a lifetime and only these full memories. This is the meaning of our life.
