SALARY & VIBES

Does Your Hard Work Match Your Salary?

Do you ever wonder if your hard work matches your paycheck?

You put in the hours, sweat, and dedication.. But when payday finally shows up, do you smile or cry? 😂

I'm asking because, honestly, every time I hear those motivational speeches about building wealth on any income, I can't help but cringe. These money experts tell you that if you invest wisely, you could be a millionaire by 2050, while you're just trying to make it to Friday 😂

So, is it your village people? Bad money management skills? Or are you simply not earning enough?

Often, you might blame yourself, thinking you overspend or should never treat yourself. But maybe, just maybe, it's not always about deprivation. Maybe you just need to make more money.

Bottom line?

Stop being so hard on yourself and start figuring out a way to make more money.

Peace✌🏾

STORY OF THE DAY

“I’ve Gotten Poorer Since I Got Into Politics”

Since when do politicians rant about being broke? I thought that was an average Joe problem.

This senator says she’s paid ‘‘peanuts’’ and she wishes she never got into politics in the first place.

MY SALARY EXPERIENCE

29, Growth Hacker

Biggest negotiation regret: Reflecting on my journey, a pivotal regret was not factoring in future responsibilities during a salary negotiation. I focused solely on my current role and failed to anticipate the added tasks that awaited. This oversight impacted my compensation down the line.
Best salary advice: When negotiating, don't just evaluate the present. Consider the growth trajectory and additional responsibilities that might arise. Base your negotiation on the holistic value you bring to the table. It's about demonstrating your strategic foresight and aligning your compensation with your evolving role.
