Ever done a critical analysis of exactly what expenses you incur in order to go to work? Did it a while back but it always amazes me that many people could be sending more than 25% of their net pay just to go to work.

For example,for those that drive to work,one's monthly fuel bill could be in the region of 15K but depends on car,distance traveled and maybe traffic jam. Look at lunch and note that esp. in corporate environments,staff feel compelled to eat in certain areas though there really is nor rule per se.

I am not saying anyone should stay at home unless you have a work-from-home vocation. Just interesting stats.

Fuel - 4k,lunch (subsidized by employer) - 1.2k,time bout 25hrs,entertainment na fuel ya weekend is another story!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.
