Need help asking for a raise. And a basic guide to managing finances well
Never even been on /biz/
I've been at my current job for a year, Age 21. And starting over since I was an idiot after HS
I'm wage slaving for $1600ish a month but within 5-10 years can be making great money if I just continue to work hard and not piss off the family to bad. I work in a Family owned multi million business that's been around since 61, I also happen to be pretty closely related with the current owners.
I'm working as a computer tech in the IT Dept which none of the other family knows anything about, making it so my position as a Supervisor is pretty secure with time and effort. (Easily 6 a figure salary)
That's fine for the future but right now I'm struggling to stay afloat. I take $200 out every week and putting it in a savings account for the winter (we work 9 months out of the year with 3 off in winter). Planning to buy a vehicle this winter.
After savings I have roughly $140 a week after taxes. $30 a month goes to my phone bill (bought a burner to cut down costs), another $140 a month goes to my housing (cheap but hardly even average) and after I buy a vehicle I'll probably be spending another $200-$300 a month for insurance and gas. And then there's the money I use for leisure, drinking with the help, buying decent enough clothes to wear to the family's events, and food.
Obviously I'm cash strapped.
