When your X is double, triple (sometimes even quadruple) the national median, I think you need to justify why you wanted (and felt entitled to) X.

- whatok 10y agoWhy?
- fieryscribe 10y agoWhy? If someone is willing to offer me X, they value what I can do at X (or more). Why does that need justification if it's some multiple of the median?
- realusername 10y agoPrepare yourself for the downvotes... Every time you suggest that some people are payed too much relative to others in the society which creates massive inequality you have a rush of libertarians trying to justify that it works as expected.
- oblio 10y agoThat justification is usually done once, to the employer/client :)
- jessedhillon 10y agoSomeone felt that, even at this price, they would be able to profit from my work. Above that, what other justification could there possibly be? Or, if you are an entrepreneur, your earnings are derived from organizing and selling the work of others. Again, what other justification exists, apart from "this many people wanted to pay me this price, those guys said they would do it for me at a smaller price, and I kept the difference."
