The best time to ask for a raise is just after a stellar performance review because your boss will be anticipating it. If you’ve just been promoted or received new responsibilities that are typically associated with a higher-level position, it’s always appropriate to broach the subject of a salary increase even in a difficult market.
But how do you ask for a raise? Here are some of my top tips:
For example, you should say something like: âBecause I can do the job of both an account manager and a programmer, I’m saving the company an additional salaryâ rather than: âI need to be making more income to pay for my wedding next year.â And don’t bring co-workers into the discussion by saying: âWell, Peter Gibbons has only been working here a few months and I know he’s making way more than me.â

The good news is, we sold our old house shortly after moving into the new one. The bad news is that the net proceeds (just over $400,000 after all related costs) are on the way to the bank account, where they will immediately become a sea of donut-munching, water-cooler-gossiping Idle Employees doing no useful work […]
Most Americans want to save for retirement, but most don’t know how to start. Putting money into a savings account is ideal for short-term goals and emergency funds. But there are better investment vehicles for long-term savings. One investment vehicle that I’ve grown to love almost as much as much as I love In-N-Out Burger (key word: “almost”) is the Roth IRA.
I know Get Rich Slowly has covered the Roth IRA a lot in the past, but new readers might not be that familiar with it. Besides, even though you might think you know everything there is to know about Roth IRAs, here are some facts that might be new to you.
Like nearly everyone else on the internet, I’m a fan of xkcd, the nerdy webcomic from Randall Munroe. My wife, who’s a chemist, loves xkcd’s science episodes (such as this and this), while I like everything else (especially this and this). And let’s not forget the map of online communities!

But it’s not a magic bullet. It’s one tool in your financial toolbox, a toolbox that includes Roth IRAs and budgeting and conscious spending. So let’s be clear: A high-yield savings account won’t make you rich. In fact, no single financial tool is going to do that. But used together, you can construct the life of your dreams.
