"Where Did My Salary Go?" Vanishing Fast... Where Is It All Going?

This hot topic is "'Where Did My Salary Go?'"

It is a thought we often have around payday, something that countless office workers will likely relate to.

I've brought news showing that the self-deprecating joke, "Salaries just brush past bank accounts," is not just a joke, but has actually been confirmed by the numbers.

A commercial bank analyzed the deposit and withdrawal account balances of customers who received net salaries of 1 million won or more in the first half of this year.

The results showed that just one day after receiving their paychecks, only 57% of the average salary remained in the account.

After five days, only 35% remained, and after ten days, just 22% of the salary was left.

Even after a month, it plummeted to a mere 3%.

Considering that the median salary for these payroll-transfer customers was 3.71 million won, it means that on average, only around 100,000 won was left in their accounts a month later.

There are cases where salaries are transferred for investments or account management.

However, excluding those cases, high living costs are likely leading to large living expense expenditures.

On top of that, subscription fees such as those for AI video sites are no small amount these days.

This is analyzed to be the result of increased fixed cost expenditures.

Hang in there to all of us who receive salaries.
