So I got paid today, no big thing, happens twice a month on the same days, no biggy...or so I think. What I always do when I get paid is take out all my bill/loan/rent/grocery/gas/savings money so I don't spend it, again no big thing...except...I realized about an hour later that I had a bit more than I usually do after I take all that out, so I go back to look. What do I discover but a 2.5% raise!!! Its really not that much, its just $30 more on each check, but when added to the year, come to find out I officially make $45,000 a year. And Oh My Lady I am excited! We had been warned that there was the possibility of some people not getting raises due to the economy, but just that $30 makes it so much easier to breathe it seems.
In all reality I could actually stay in my current apartment feasibly...but I'm still moving...but that is still a nice bit of knowledge.
But so that is my little tid-bit.
