[QUOTE="Artee, post: 4005111, member: 24351"] You keep bringing it back to personal finance. Thats not what the raise is about. Its about keeping up with the cost of inflation. Now wherever you are located maybe there is no need. Where i am located, I feel for some of my fellow employees who are single and renting. 1k a month will get you a small 1 bedroom apartment in a so so neighborhood. Rent is guaranteed to go up every year by at least $100/Month. Go a couple years without a raise and all of a sudden your rent has increased by $2400/year and your salary has gone nowhere. Utilities have now doubled/tripled because some utility companies like to burn down cities and towns. How about water rates? Groceries? $4/gallon gas? None of that has anything to do with personal finance. Thats just day to day living expenses. The fixed costs. If you are going to continue this discussion please move it away from the Dave Ramsey speech. No one on here is complaining about student loan debt or high credit card and auto loan balances, so thats not why us topped out drivers would like a raise. Save it for the proper discussion.
