The Work Scam: Your $30 Job Pays $8

Описание: You think you make $30 an hour.
But do you really?
We’re taught to measure success by our Gross Annual Salary. $60,000 sounds impressive. $80,000 sounds even better. But in business, looking at revenue without subtracting expenses is how companies go bankrupt. And your job is no different.
In this video, we break down the biggest illusion in modern work culture: the idea that your salary equals your value. We calculate your Real Hourly Wage by subtracting the hidden costs of employment — taxes, commuting, work clothes, convenience food, and the money you spend just to recover from work stress.
When you divide your true take-home pay by the real number of hours you commit to your job — including unpaid prep time, commuting, and mental decompression — you might discover something shocking.
Your $30 per hour could actually be $12. Maybe even $9.
And when you start thinking in hours of your life instead of dollars, everything changes.
In this video, we cover:
The Salary Illusion: Why gross income hides the real picture.
Hidden Employment Taxes: The real cost of commuting, clothes, coffee, and stress spending.
Shadow Hours: The unpaid time you dedicate to your job outside the office.
The Real Hourly Wage Formula: How to calculate your true number.
Consumer Rewiring: Why a $100 purchase might actually cost you 10 hours of your life.
Optimization Strategy: How to increase your margin instead of just chasing higher income.
It’s time to stop selling your time at a discount.
