About This Quote

The reason that man is seldom satisfied with his salary is that when it increases, he increases his expenses. This quotation refers to the impact of inflation on salary levels. When people get paid more, they often increase their expenditure by buying smaller houses, cars or other items. The idea is that you are just as happy when you’re earning more money but you don’t feel the same level of satisfaction when you get more money in your pocket.
