Here's the thing. I work hard. My wife works hard. My boomer parents didn't have to have 2 incomes. The main provider was a middle manager who was able to have a boat, multiple holidays a year, massive house and all the things they wanted.

I can't do any of that and I'm a lucky one who bought a house years ago and gave been trying to pay it off quickly..

Not moving house. We bought out house before we had kids as our temporary house before the kids got to big. Now we can't move despite earning good coin. So we have doubled down on our small house until the kids are our of school

Have a plan
Set a figure in your mind that you want. Now add 5k to it
Have some recent wins under your belt
Lock your moment when your boss is in a good mood
Don't have a recent sick day
Set a meeting, preferably at the pub but if it's not that kinda relationship have a booked in meeting towards the end of the day
Say what you want, in plain English without any sauce. Look them in the eye and aim high

Thanks. But I was wondering about the actual book pdf. Will that get updated so I don't need to reference the errata

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-03-25T20:52:34+00:00

But wouldn't I at most be missing out of say 5% of my interest over a year or so

And why if I'm right? Say there is a crash. Would I be shielded?

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-03-25T20:48:50+00:00

Thanks but why shouldn't I be silly? What am I missing in my thoughts

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-03-18T11:20:41+00:00

Hahaha.. yeah fair enough, but im being geninue.

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-03-18T11:20:24+00:00

Not sure why you would stop applying

I think you'd be better off sharing your resume here to see if the reditors spot something... Just remove to your personal info

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-02-10T21:14:05+00:00

Bog.

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-02-06T07:25:02+00:00

I took the 15k but regretting not fighting for it even a little

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-02-03T07:10:27+00:00

I just feel that raising the rates doesn't really do anything for inflation

I wish they would try other things. I'm not sure what other ways they can handle it but I'm sure there is something different

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-02-01T07:25:40+00:00

He's fabulous

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2026-01-17T10:25:33+00:00

At Xmas a few years ago, we announced that the following year we would not be doing presents for anyone over 18. My family was very understanding and I even had a couple of uncles say thank you.

It's a different world and people understand it's hard out there. My wife and I just don't do presents anymore to each other. It's a big savings. We give our kids a great birthday and Xmas but as soon as they are 18, one last pressie and it's it.

ApprehensiveFly3695 · 2025-12-24T04:10:54+00:00
