“As a self-employed person, there is always the question of how much is enough … My gauge has been off — forged in times of scarcity and want”
Photo-Illustration: by Stevie Remsberg; Photo: Getty Get That Money is an exploration of the many ways we think about our finances — what we earn, what we have, and what we want.
Though I was, of course, pleased to be paid more, I hated everything about this situation. I hated that the amount that had seemed to me enough no longer did. I hated that they thought I was worth less than these two dudes. And I resented the reminder that money is an indicator of value — of what other people think you’re worth. Even though I’m a writer, and money was never the point. Still, it wasn’t long before I left that job.
The grown-up me still does this. There’s a classic restaurant in San Francisco called The House of Prime Rib, where if you finish one prime rib, you get another one for free. My dining companions mostly do not take the restaurant up on this offer, whereas I will eat the whole prime rib, and then the second one. What I’m saying is that my gauge has been off — forged in times of scarcity and want.
