15 Incredibly Useful Pieces of Advice To Help You On You Travels Through Life
1. Inflation in the last year was 4.2%. If you get (or got) a raise less than that, then you got a pay cut
Reminder that usually a “cost of living” raise is to match inflation, usually 2%. So getting a 3% raise is usually just a little more than cost of living.
The report came out today that in the last year, inflation was 4.2%. That means if you got a 3% raise, your purchasing power is less than this time last year.
I know that a lot of people are unemployed, but a lot also took pay cuts or pay freezes or crappy raises last year (and probably more work to offset layoffs, but that’s for a different discussion). Now that the job market is picking up, inflation is definitely something to consider.

Picture of the Day
Filipino seafarers saved 62 year old American, who was reported missing, and was found in the Atlantic Ocean clinging to the bow of his capsized boat.
A boater who was found Sunday clinging to his sinking vessel far off Florida’s Atlantic coastline told U.S. Coast Guard officials he didn’t think he would make it back to shore alive.
“I didn’t see anybody, I thought, this is it!” Stuart Bee said in a call with the Coast Guard released Monday night.
Bee, 62, had been reported missing on Friday after he departed from Cape Marina on his 32-foot boat.
Bee described having mechanical problems on the boat Saturday night, saying the engine was making squealing noises. He went to sleep and was woken up by water coming into the boat.
