These are both the same thing. If I say "I will give you $20 to not drive" or "I will take $20 from you if you drive", the only thing that really matters is that there is a $20 price differential between two actions so you will be at a $20 disadvantage to do the current thing regardless of how you word it. Money and wealth is relative so the actual final amount doesn't matter as much as how much you have compared to the average person.
