What are inflation raises? Sounds nice.

They're just minimal bumps that don't really keep up with inflation.

Probably

Possibly if my wife got a job making around the same but that doesn't appear to be in the cards.

So, in other words you get paid to hardly work? That sounds nice. How much is

It's not that I hardly work. I work a 40 hour job, sometimes more.

I would need to enjoy what I'm doing regardless of those things.

So... and government job? And hey, I'd get a pension after 20 years!

justAnotherCoug

No, but it operates similarly. No pension.

If only my company kept up with inflation...

Ours does not, but we get small bumps that are called inflation raises.

I am too, but loving it less and less.

Very much so. It's my plan, though I may retire in 16 and a half years, so might

No chance I’d go into administration

Nice. Did you get another side gig or was your salary enough?

IronPotato

This is my situation, but I don’t plan to continue it for 20 years.
