I Observe
Why do people work?

Whatever your personal reasons for working are, the number one answer to “Why do people work?” is that money is an important part of our lives. Whether you call it salary, compensation, benefits or wage, money pays the bills. Realistically speaking, everyone needs money because without it, we could not take care of our families. It provides roof on our heads, clothing, food, and all our basic needs. It also pays for our children’s education, and even allows us to enjoy ourselves and buy more than we need. If you do not have work, who would pay for these things? Youwork not only to earn your living, but also to enjoy all these things that nobody hands them out to you.
