Make 650K+ for family income. Still go to date at Mc Donald’s , shop at Walmart , JC Penney, use coupons . More importantly dine at a homeless shelter once in a while. Nothing beats that. I contribute $0 to charity. But always do home renovations, cleaning, random parties outside etc... just with the intent of supporting small business owners and workers in my area and hard working people without haggling on price.

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
