overpaid

in the rare occasions that you may possibly be overpaid (e.g. when compared to a great school teacher, who's shaping the lives of the younger generation, and yet who's struggling to meet bills), what do you do?

ask to be paid less?

improve your standard of living (nicer apartment, nicer car, etc)?

enjoy the good times while they last?

bank away enough to go through the hard times? (how does one estimate the length of time of the hard times?)

try to see what you can do for the ones already in hard times that last indefinitely? (how much? 2%? 10%? 50%?) (do you donate, volunteer, or set up something? how much time to put in?)

live frugally until we die, then we can decide what we want in our will anyway?
