I’m looking for ways to be more intentional with my salary. Using benefits has helped, and I’ve cut back on unnecessary expenses. What other strategies are worth considering in HR roles?

Well there are options like buying stocks every time you receive your salary, and this is after studying on certain stocks to buy and understanding the trajectory, it should help.

I appreciate the suggestion. I’ll explore the available stock purchase options.

leveraging 401K/RRSP contribution matches by employers, using health/wellness spending accounts, leveraging other paramedical coverages: therapy (physical or mental), massage, wellness (vitamins, treatments, shots, etc.) or other ancillary benefits. Employee perks and discount programs if your company offers them.

From a salary perspective specifically: paying yourself first - Monthly expense fund (rent/mortgage, bills, food), investing money, savings money and then living off what's left over. Rather than living off the larger amount, spending unnecessarily or accumulating debt.

Appreciating Investments like real estate, Gold/silver, stocks, ETFs or mutual funds, crypto (riskier but still an investment). This is not investing advice - you'll still want to consult a professional.

This is well said and thank you for the insight . I will look into this

Hi all,
Need your advice. One of our worker’s wife is fighting cancer. We know that he needs to take care of her and work the same time to cover medical bills. So we decided to collect money for him. Should I do it secretly and only let him know after I’m done collecting money or should I get his permission first? I need to figure out which way would be less uncomfortable for him. Thanks!
