Money Study

[Gilgamesh]

This was a study I read that came out with a certain result for the question in the quotes bellow, I thought we would run the same study here and see if the same results emerge....

Would you rather earn $50,000 a year while other people make $25,000, or would you rather earn $100,000 a year while other people get $250,000?

Assume for the moment that prices of goods and services will stay the same.

I will put up a poll, please specify why you chose the answer you did, and don't say neither or something like "everyone should get the same salary". Stick to the options

well i chose the second option
i don't care for being better than others or wealthiest or i dunno what all i care for is having enough money to live properly, to make some of my dreams come true and why not help my husband in the future so i think 100 000$ is better than 50 000

if im earning 50,000$ while the other 25,000$ this means my life style is better than the others, and life cost less than earning 100,000$,

eno earning 50,000$ in lebanon is quit good and better than getting 100,000$ in us

it depends where are u living

If the costs are the same in both cases, and the country is the same...which one do u prefer? they are trying to see the human behavior factor with respect to others...it is more of a sociological study than it is an economical one....

[khello]

well ill pick the first cause in a country that others make 25k a month its better to make 50k but in countries that they make 250k if you only make 100k its like you're poor in a such country not poor but not comfortable

[TAREK®]

as much as I love to make fun of people bass mesh la darajeh shouf 7aleh 3layon so second option

[SysTaMatIcS]

according to economics if ur getting double of wat everyone gets , then for sure , prices will drop down , nd ull be able to buy lots of stuff , more than getting payed 100, nd others getting payed 250 , cuz prices will get up ,. the 100, wont worth a 50!

well i chose the 2nd option cz it's still enno 100 000$ is better than 50000 and even though others get 250 000 well 100 000 is a really good salary :d so i go with the 2nd option
