I received good news on Friday. I had my annual performance review at work and received a raise. I was unsure how much of a raise we would be getting this year. My work place has already announced that all managers and above would not be getting a raise this year. And they announced that those eligible for raises would be getting smaller raises than in the past due to a smaller pot of money being available for them. So I was pleasantly surprised to receive a 2.8% raise. My boss informed me the average was 2% this year so I was very happy to once again receive an above average raise. The raise is effective March 31st so I should start seeing the larger paychecks in April. Yay for good news during this recession!
This raise combined with my promotion and raise last fall has really brought up my paychecks in the last year. I feel so fortunate to not only have a job but a job that is seemingly stable. We’ll use the extra money for the financial benefit of our family – debt elimination and then savings. I’m feeling very lucky right now and am hoping shoes don’t start dropping!

Yay for raises- and making such huge gains on your debt! I think that I'll keep reading for inspiration. I am quite sadly in debt (even after previously climbing completely out) and currently trying to sell anything I can think of to get out. It is great to read about someone who is really doing well with eliminating debt.
Good for you! That is stellar news especially in this economy. I hope it leads to getting you closer to your financial goals! There's certainly no insurance for that in our uncertain times so it's great you are able to continue to move forward.
