Cost of living adjustment! Yey!

September 2nd, 2008 at 10:24 pm

After all the deductions, $130 more monthly in take home pay.

Small but pleasant.
That is more than our cable/phone/internet package.

I know, I should automatically put it into savings since I "won't miss it". But I don't like doing this automatically.
Doing a transfer yourself gives you that "buzz" like in shopping. Only you are buying something for your future self.

And I have a tradition of buying something fun and luxurious in the first month I get a raise - to celebrate. I think little celebrations are warranted.

    lol - my flatmate has a similar tradition but probably not a wise one: she thinks it's ok to blow your first paycheck on something you wouldn't normally buy yourself but have been wanting (like shoes or something).

    of course, she's had three jobs this year...

    I like making the deposits myself as well. It makes me "feel" it getting accomplished, so that I actually get to enjoy the moment when some hard work pays off.
