think of it like this. there are 2 possible scenarios: 1)you are walking home from a party because -blam!- work, right? all of the sudden, a bright and beautiful Lamborghini falls from the sky and lands gently in front of you, with the keys in the ignition. you hop in and drive home, and have fun playing with your new toy. 2) you worked as hard as you could for weeks and finally got a huge promotion. you save up money, then, when there is a huge sale at the dealership, you decide to buy that Lamborghini you've had your eye on for weeks. you drive home and have fun playing with your new toy. In which scenario was the Lamborghini earned more? [spoiler]but that's none of my business[/spoiler]
