@drruwende Get Flu shot ( vaccination) every year in May/ June, that’s the SECRET , if you can afford it
Doctors will not tell you this so they can make more money out of you
I met a maid in 2025 who told me her employer pays her $400 a month because she appreciates the work she does. What stood out to me is that she said her boss isn’t even a rich woman. I remembered that conversation when i heard what @todo_simms said "$80 is not money you should be paying a maid, especially if you have the means to do better."
Growing up, we never had a maid for that very reason. My parents believed that paying someone extremely low wages for hard, full-time labor is a form of modern-day slavery that society has normalised.We could afford low money but we couldnt afford what a normal person really deserves.
Think about it practically: how is someone supposed to pay school fees, food, and basic living expenses on $80 a month? It’s simply not realistic.
If your spending increases because you have money luxury vacations, $300 lunches, designer clothes then your responsibility toward the people who work for you should increase as well. A person with empathy would immediately recognise that certain wages are simply not enough to live on.
It becomes a question of morality and humanity. How can someone comfortably eat a $300 meal but hesitate to pay the person who cleans their home or cares for their children $300 a month?
And this problem is not limited to domestic workers. I’ve met young lawyers who studied for years, invested heavily in their education, only to be paid $100 a month by law firms that are bringing in thousands of dollars in fees daily. Meanwhile, those same firms expect them to work hard while watching partners spend lavishly on expensive lunches and lifestyles. That same system starts at home and you want to quwstion it when its now the government do it?
To me, the more profit you make, the more responsibility you have to appreciate and compensate the people who make that profit possible. A moral person understands that success should not come at the expense of others’ dignity.
You can still afford your vacations, your nice lifestyle, and your comforts but fairly paying the people who work for you should never feel like a burden.
We should aim to build a society where success also means improving the lives of others. This principle should apply to everyone from households to companies to billionaires. I simply don’t see the moral justification for one person accumulating billions while the workers who sustain that wealth struggle to survive. The christians who are taught about giving and empathy everytime at church do not want to give those who work for them.
My 2 cents for today😊
