You should be aware that if you are involved in two or more situations, you could be an employee in one and an independent contractor in another. As an employee, both social security tax and income tax are withheld from your salary. As an independent contractor, you must estimate your income tax and social security tax liability and pay it in advance quarterly installments. Therefore, until the end of the year the amount withheld on salary will generally exceed the amount paid in by the independent contractor, and based solely on the value of the use of money, an independent contractor theoretically saves the interest on this difference. Also, for 1976 the amount of social security withheld from your salary is 5.85% of the first 15,300, but the amount of social security tax an independent contractor must pay is 7.9% of the first 15,300 of self-employment income. This difference in percentages can result in a maximum of 313 savings for the employee over the independent contractor. 

In addition to the fact that not all costs involve a transaction of money, it is important to remember that, at least from the perspective of society as a whole, not all transactions of money should be considered costs. For example, monetary transactions that do not represent the consumption of resources (e.g., social security payments, disability payments, or other retirement benefits) are not costs by this definition. They simply transfer the right to consume the resources represented by the money from one individual to another.

It is well-known that economic stability helps to hold a marriage and a family together. As Charles L. Schottland puts it, the possession of money by the American family means more than the ability to purchase goods and services. Money symbolizes security—economic, social and emotional security. What is less well-known is that welfare programs designed to subsidize income often have an adverse effect on family structure, particularly in the black community. My contention is that the reform of the current welfare system will help to stabilize the black family.

In Example 3.26 you calculated that you would have to work six weeks to earn enough money to buy a 734.26 stereo system. You would be working five shifts of four hours each at 7.25/hr.

From a behavior-based perspective, you can see that these different need levels simply define the kinds of consequences that motivate our behavior. When we are at the first stage of the hierarchy, for example, we are working to achieve consequences—or avoid losing consequences—necessary to sustain life. We need money to buy food and pay the rent or mortgage. Then, consequences that imply safety and security are reinforcing. Money is needed to buy insurance or feed a savings account, for example. At the social acceptance level, we perform to receive peer support or to avoid negative peer pressure.
