Money: Is it Really the Root of All Evil?
0“Money is the root of all evil” is perhaps the most famous adage. Unfortunately, it’s a misquote. The actual words come from Timothy 6:10: “The love of money is the root of all evil.” If you think about those two added words, the original meaning changes. In fact, 8 verses later in Timothy, the rich are encouraged to use their wealth “that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to More >

0The vast majority of American wage and salary workers today fall into the middle class. That means an annual income of somewhere between $30,000 and $50,000-before deductions for social security, federal and state (and sometimes city) income tax, Medicare, health insurance (if you’re lucky enough to be offered it), and a 401K plan. The federal minimum wage is still stuck at an amazingly low $5.15 per hour, providing half a million minimum-wage workers with less than $12,000 a year.
One Way OutGiven these figures, it is not difficult to see why one in 17 Americans, or about 7.5 million, work two or more jobs. It’s called “moonlighting.” Sounds romantic, doesn’t it?
