By that I mean that the key workers, nurses, paramedics, police, fireman, doctors tend to do what they do because they come from a place of giving. Their tendency tends towards a life of service where they do what they do comes from a place of congruency. Quite simply, they just want to help.
Many of them might do the "job" for nothing.
Some of them are probably even subsidising their 'job' and whilst we applaud that, it's tragic for them.
They go to work and what they earn on a monthly basis probably doesn't cover their costs. Living expenses, travel and subsistence added up might mean that they have nothing left for saving.
They are trapped in a financial loop that they can only break out of by reducing costs (not feasible) or increasing income - feasible if they can stay there long enough to get promotion with a pay rise.
To understand my thoughts, lets go back in time.
Victorian industrialists such as Cadbury and Rowntree provided social housing for their workers at a time when there was no government interference or assistance in such matters.
They employed people and deducted a small amount from their wages to cover housing costs.
This amount was capped at a percentage of their earnings "...so as not to cause financial hardship by simply putting a roof over their family's heads..."
