There will always be someone making more than you or less than you. At a younger age or older age. So go at your own pace, life isn't a sprint. Salary/comp included.

Have a friend who makes a fourth of what I do (we’re good friends so talk about this stuff now and then). He could make more by switching jobs and just doesn’t cause he has an easy 40 hour work week and doesn’t want more stress, also doesn’t need to make more as he can pay for everything he wants as is.

Happiest guy I know and has given me perspective that what is important isn’t the dollar amount, it’s happiness.

Debt is a factor, but OP said specifically "earn". It was a joke tbh, I'm as happy as I can be about my future career - starting at Oliver in 1 and a half month

I think most people are overpaid for their value so the more interesting thing to me isn’t how much people earn but how they save/invest.

What if the amount you make isn’t enough to lead a “comfortable” lifestyle

That is true philosophically ..agreed ….but one should be aware of what the market is offering for your skill set and experience…It is in our corporate overlords’ interest if employees don’t know what a fare market offering is for themselves so they can low ball them without them knowing

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue. The CEO says we "can't afford it" and that "there are things that matter more than money." That's easy for someone not living paycheck to paycheck (during an inflation crisis) to say. I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about.

My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
