As in, I remember that back in my apprentice days I knew how much I got paid per hour.
Now recently I had to look trough my documents to find out what my monthly salary even is because it’s raise season and I have to give my manager a number higher than that so that he can advocate for it to the board of directors.
I still remember my yearly salary semi-accurately (like within 10%), but I bet super rich people either go by decades or don’t know at all what they make in a year.
On the other side, my friends who work retail jobs have a decent estimate of what they make per week or two week span, even if they are paid monthly.
I think it just means youre well off and dont have to stress about money. I’m not sure there is a timescale element, I’m confident there are plenty if middle aged folk working paycheck to paycheck stressing about their income.
I’ve never known my hourly rate ever. I’ve always been paid monthly while salary negotiations have been over the yearly amount.
And as a self-employed I only know how much I earned at the end of the year which could be wildly different than the year before.
This holds true for me as well. I get paid monthly, but is a functional of my yearly salary and how many days there are in the month. I know roughly what this means after taxes. I have no idea what this means weekly/daily/hourly.
hmm. I know the exact number of my salary as that is how I do finances month to month.
Now when it comes to total earnings that is a bit vague for me as I only tally that when I do my annual tax filings.
I think you are correct OP.
