I switched from working 35 hours a week to 40 hours a week back in November.
I had no idea how much that added to my annual salary, but it was like a huge raise back in November. Same hourly rate, they just forced everyone in the company to work 40 hours or lose your benefits if you wanted to stay at 35 hours.
Then yesterday I got my annual raise.
Holy s**t. Holy. s**t. between the two I am now making 10k more than last year.
I don't...I don't know what to do with myself. My debt will be knocked out in a few months. Then I start saving. Then...I don't know.
At one point in my life while unemployed I was so low, so depressed and defeated that I actually believed that I wasn't good enough to even have a minimum wage job. I thought I wasn't good enough to have ANY job like a 'normal person.' I remember one afternoon I broke down crying while watching Spongebob Squarepants at home because I realized, "Even Spongebob Squarepants has a ******** job."
I'm trying not to brag, I really am. I'm sorry guys, and I know it is bragging just by even bringing this up. But I am just so ******** happy right now. I honestly thought I'd end up loveless, jobless and living off my mother, begging for spending money well into my 40's. I never thought I would ******** amount to anything and I have.
This isn't going to solve a lot of the problems I am having. Money can't solve depression or weight and health issues, but god dammit, it solves a big chunk of my debt problem and frees up a lot of mental real estate so I CAN focus on stuff like helping my depression, weight and health problems.
