[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1081201, member: 43436"] Try telling the millions of Americans who won't get a raise this year, or the millions more Americans who've taken hefty pay cuts over the past decade, 'well... it isn't really a raise.' I'm a lowly PT employee who earns in the low $20,000s. I earned less in 2012 than 2011, despite the pair of raises, because they've aggressively been cutting PT hours here. Yet, in all honestly, I live a good life -- probably equivalent to somebody earning twice as much as me. It's called budgeting, planning, saving and preparing. I'm sorry you had to send $3,000 to your elderly parents so they didn't have to "scimp" so much, but people need to learn that you can enjoy a high-quality life without beginning each day with a $4pp Starbucks coffee.
