If you give thema hour's worth of your labour, they respond in kind. I really love that way of thinking.Yellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975849028363084985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-21580152701987800522007-12-05T11:39:00.000+00:002007-12-05T11:39:00.000+00:00It's not really your "hourly pay", as the pool ask...It's not really your "hourly pay", as the pool asks, though is it? Really you are talking about expendable income (what is left over) and therefore it is 'expendable hourly income' as you said at one point. I think this is the better phrase.<BR/><BR/>It is an interesting measure, but is not always so useful for people not paid by the hour or not able to get overtime. i.e. if your are paid for a job regardless of the hours, you can't actually swap the time for the money or vica-verca. However it can be an interesting abstraction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-12311323427549468492007-12-05T09:32:00.000+00:002007-12-05T09:32:00.000+00:00"Living The Good Life" is one of my favourite book..."Living The Good Life" is one of my favourite books - and did you know she has a <A HREF="http://www.lintrezza.com/blogger.html" REL="nofollow"><B>blog</B></A>?<BR/><BR/>We did that activity a while ago - found it in a book by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin (the book is called "Your Money Or Your Life"), and have never spent the same way since. <BR/><BR/>It's real food for thought. But pondering it yet more deeply, what I find most disturbing is how sheaply we can buy consumer goods, and I question how much that person in China/India/Chile got paid per hour of their time so we could buy the latest ugly clothing that some Guru has deemed 'fashionable'.<BR/><BR/>The world is a strange place. Perhaps we all need to do a bit more smelling the flowers and a little less buying the consumer goods.<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts for the moment :-)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497683565965322222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-62298322014644507122007-12-04T20:38:00.000+00:002007-12-04T20:38:00.000+00:00I'm thrashing around with the idea of trying to ge...I'm thrashing around with the idea of trying to get a LETS scheme off the ground locally - I love the idea of swapping an hour's toil for an hour's toil.<BR/><BR/>Also ... you know I do reiki? I'm not working at the moment - but when I start again, my scale of charges is going to be 'an hour's treatment for the client's hourly wage, put in my box, no questions asked'. It seems a very balanced way to work.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328795228297873415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-49765308953435420862007-12-04T20:34:00.000+00:002007-12-04T20:34:00.000+00:00For fan read spam?For fan read spam?Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931734565442371796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-71346916515423245472007-12-04T15:39:00.000+00:002007-12-04T15:39:00.000+00:00I had a little trouble with the first step: "Get ...I had a little trouble with the first step: "Get a payslip..."
