What was your pay increase this year?

Mine is busy with retrenchment and every month since January 30 was retrenched same is true for a few engineering shops as there is a power play to replace a lot of old hands.

5.8%

I will get a sizable increase in a few months, but not planning to spend anything more than I usually do. I am good with NOT falling into the lifestyle creep trap.

The gf keeps nagging to move into a better more expensive place though since we can afford it, which irritates me. I might be too stingy, but it's a nice feeling seeing the stonks investment account go brrrr.

This is the most retarded question. 1% of 100,000 > 80% of 1,000.

Percentages mean nothing without a number to give it relevance...

Too many people don't understand this.

First 6 years of my career, my lifestyle massively improved with each increase. The last 6 years of my career I've kept my lifestyle the same but my net worth has skyrocketed in comparison.

It's the way to go.

True but at 1% you’re technically poorer than last year while the 1000 earner can atleast buy food now with their transport

Yeah but at 5% (R5,000) you're not getting poorer, and you're buying way more food than him with his R800...
