Well can you pay bond/rent, electricity, car loan, petrol and feed your wife and children with that salary? If you are single or married to rich wife than it may be sufficient.
why should the "can you pay bond/rent, electricity, car loan, petrol and feed your wife and children with that salary"question be used when negotiating for more money... i think the employers are not there to pay salaries... you need to cut your cloth by your size. i believe that you should be living within your means... the fact that you have 2 children and therefor need an increase is out. i feel that you getting an increase should be solely based on the fact that you feel that you deserve it because of the quality of the work you do for the company...
