The reason you set an alarm instead of just living your dreams.
means Money you receive in exchange for work you've done.
from From Old French 'paiier,' tracing back to Latin 'pacare' — meaning to pacify or appease. The idea being that handing someone money for their labor settles the matter and keeps the peace. Your boss isn't being generous; they're literally paying you to make the obligation go away.
