Hello, Buddy!
Nobody is teaching you bad things 😂.. read today’s story for context, first👇🏿
By the way, I just discovered a not-so-fun fact! The word 'salary' comes from the Latin word for salt “salarium”, because a long time ago, Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt.
I guess payday was a spicier time for them than it is today.
In Today’s Email:
The ‘‘girl math’’ trend
Story of the Day: “I threatened to leave my job and got a raise”
Job of the Day: Executive Assistant at Matta
SALARY & VIBES
Girl Math, Boy Math, Gen Z Math, Millenial Math…
..Because the sprinkle of feminism in me will not let me accept this stereotype.
In case you missed it, there's a funny money trend making waves on TikTok!
Introducing "girl math," where people dissect their spending down to the tiniest bits to make it seem totally reasonable. It's like how you justify some purchases you make in your head as soon as salary hits your account.
But not everyone's clapping – a naysayer claims it's a sneaky excuse to splurge.
Before you form an opinion, get a sneak peek into the money moves behind this trend!

STORY OF THE DAY
“I Threatened To Leave My Job And Got A Raise”
Seems like giving your boss a little scare might be the secret recipe for that long-overdue raise! And hey, don't give me the side-eye.
I’m only taking lessons from this lady who straight-up told her boss she’d leave the company if they didn't meet her promotion/salary expectations.
Who knew that a little career blackmail could make that raise happen?
P.S Before you go and do copy copy, make sure you’re all that and more, or else, it’s bye-bye you’ll hear o!
MY SALARY EXPERIENCE
28, Program Manager
Biggest negotiation regret: When changing roles, I wish I had spoken up when I was asked if I was okay with the salary being flat. I wasn't but assumed I would risk getting the job if I spoke up. This was an opportunity for me to say no and truly negotiate.
Best salary advice: If it matters to you, consult with others about their salaries, promotions etc. Old-school mentality makes it seem like a taboo topic but it doesn't need to be. It wasn’t until I was a few years into my career that a coworker willingly shared their salary and it helped me gauge my salary target. From then on, I realized I would be leaving money on the table if I didn’t speak up.
