Money is a necessary evil, but it sure is fun to have. It can’t buy true happiness, but some people try their best to make it put a permanent smile on their face. Not everyone is loaded to the rafters with moolah, and it’s the everyday working man that really appreciates what place money has in life. If you’re bathing in gold coins right now, you probably could care less about what I’m saying, but I bet you’d be interested in seeing how much money you’re making in real time. The Salary Clock is a tool that can be either depressing, or wildly depressing.

By typing in your annual salary in US dollars, the site can determine how much money you’re making as time passes. It does this by using a formula of working 48 weeks per year, and 40 hours per week. I was a little peeved when the clock only said, “broke” when I entered in my salary. The real fun comes when you select one of the celebrities to monitor. Some of their digits update so fast it almost makes you dizzy. Compare their figures to yours if you’re really into inflicting pain on yourself.
