Because if I had some leftover I could start my own business for example. Good enough salary for living is bullshit and it's driving the middle class to the ground instead upward, since everyone is living well enough but nobody has the saving to switch to entrepreneurship. And thus we're now reliant as a society to the startup lottery to create new things, where the smartest mind create business just to be screwed over by investors. The good enough salary negotiation driven by sense of guilt for making more than enough is a fallacy and just lead to exploitation of the middle class. In my first six month of work I managed trough automation to save my employer well more than my salary in yearly maintenance costs, and got a nice pat on the back. that's the kind of bullshit we engineers have to live with. Screw the good enough salary. They want to pay as cheaply as possible and the only recourse is to grab as much cash as you can because your work is worth money and a lot of it and you deserve a fair share of it.
