I received my first raise at Dynetics this month. We had performance reviews last month, and apparently I perform well [insert innuendo] because I got a surprising 8% raise. My last significant raise was from $8.00 to $9.00 an hour as a produce clerk (I was a damn good produce clerk). Although the latter was a 12.5% jump, I like the Dynetics one better (as it is 8% of a big boy's salary). Sadly, my 401k is down 25.8.% since September 1st.
R.I.P
George's 401k
We Hardly Knew Thee
As one who enjoys math, the internet, and money I did some cost of living comparisons with my new salary. To enjoy the same comfort of living as I do in Huntsville, AL, I'd need to pull in: over $80k in Chicago or Seattle, $90k in Boston, and over $100k in LA, New York, or DC. I'm not going to live in Huntsville forever, but while I'm here I will thoroughly appreciate affording shit.
