[QUOTE="Faceplanted, post: 2842159, member: 56697"] Look up the rate of inflation the past few years. Simple economics Raises are very relevant to inflation as this shows actual spending power. The whole economy is based on percentages... 401k performance, inflation, home prices, profit increase. To say percentages don't matter is one of the most ignorant things I ever heard. You have more spending power because you have years or making upper middle class money, have debts paid, and a cushion. That doesn't mean 34 an hour now has the same power as 22 A few contracts ago, especially when minimum wage almost doubled in some states during the exact same time frame I want to talk actual numbers and percentages not your opinion about how your life is. That's all opinion based while numbers are there for everybody to see [/QUOTE]
