I dropped out of class 8.And went straight to Gikomba to deal in clothes.I'm perturbed to hear that a manager earns sh38k and pays KRA's P.A.Y.E.In Gikomba we make more than that.Instead of you guys earning such small amounts of money while working for another man.Why don't you come to GIKOSH???

Curiously.. Say you work with a group of 10. Would you rather earn 200k when everyone else is earning 350k OR would you rather earn 100k when everyone else is earning 50k?
That will help define how you perceive wealth.

Of course makes more sense to make 200k than earn 100k.

The moment you get your 200k and they get their 350k and all of you go to the market to purchase goods and services is the moment yo'll know why some of us favour 100k.

You're assuming that you're the only people in the market. My take is this is in today's Kenya and you're in an office. Why should you choose to earn less just so you can out earn your office colleagues?

Why should you choose to earn less just so you can out earn your office colleagues? I would rather earn 200k as my nine colleagues earn 350k, as long as I am still far better than the next highest earning person in the market (outside my workplace). A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.
