I am a little hesitant about announcing this, because I know that there are so many who work so hard and are struggling financially in this tough economy. I never want to come off boastful or portray that my life is perfect, because I promise–it’s not.
But I do have a little financial good news to share…
I got a $1,000 raise today!
I had my employee review today and it went very well. We met to discuss my improvements in the last year and the areas they’d love to see me advance in for the next year. I am going to put together a list of tactful employee things I want to accomplish this year and post it on here later.
As for the budget, this will come into effect at the end of this month. I did a little preliminary tax calculations, and it looks like I’ll be getting ~$55 more each month. Nothing extraordinary, but hey–a raise is a raise and I am very thankful. :)
Congratulations, my dear! You totally deserve this. I had a good feeling something like this was going to happen when you Tweeted about having your review today! Woo hoo!
HOLLLAA!!!!! Congrats, babe!
Congrats! Don’t feel bad about sharing good news! It’s not like you’re saying you doubled your salary (although wouldn’t that be great). Very happy for you!
Congrats! That’s great news :) you deserve it.
Congrats!
That is very exciting news. What fun it will be to plan how to use th at raise to your best advantage.
That’s great, congrats!
Congratulations!!! So exciting & you deserve it!!
Yes, every little bit helps. No need to feel bad. (I’m getting a bonus next week, even with the crazy economy.)
Sweet!!! Don’t feel bad about announcing news like that — you earned it! Congrats. :D

Don’t feel like it’s boasting – when you’re excited about something (especially financial), this is definitely the place to share it!
Congratulations to you! Good to see that you looked at what your cut will be every month. Enjoy the fruit of your hard work.
Congratulations! That’s wonderful news. Enjoy it.

That’s wonderful!!! And you shouldn’t feel bad posting! I love good news from anyone and anywhere nowadays! :) I added you to my blogroll, hope that’s ok! :)
Well, I don’t know you and just stumbled onto your site, but your $1000 raise made me feel very good. I am currenlty jobless, but I wish you no ill-will, everyone deserves to have good things happen to them. Congratualtions.
Congratulations! Nice to hear a bit of good news from someone on the earning front! Well done.

I know what you mean about feeling weird sharing good news. But hopefully it just gives everyone else more hope for themselves!
