Prepare your response
- If you get turned down, ask what you need to do to improve. "Get as much specific feedback as possible so you can figure out what steps you need to take to get to the next level,"
- Put something on the calendar for a few months out. Ask to revisit the issue in a few months if you don't get the raise you ask for.
- If your company can't pay more due to budget constraints, ask about increased paid time-off days, flexible work arrangements, a one-time bonus, or other options.
- Keep an open dialogue. "Asking for a raise should be a natural part of an ongoing conversation."

How to earn more money: Three ways to boost your income
Boosting your savings
While frugality is undoubtedly important in personal finance, boosting your savings can also be done by earning more money.
Whether you're self-employed or working for somebody else...
The More You Learn, the More You Earn
Your education has a greater impact on your earnings than other influences such as age, race, gender, and location. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average college graduate earns twice as much as someone whose education ended with high school.
If you can't commit to college, you can still improve your knowledge and skills with self-directed life-long learning. The best time to pursue education is at the start of your career. The next best time is now.
Work More. Work Better
Your pay is also based on the quality and quantity of your work. If you've been making forty sales calls each week, find a way to do fifty.
The quickest way to boost your income is to increase the number of hours you work. It can be done by working full-time, working overtime, or finding a second job.

How to Ask for a Raise
A raise
A raise isn’t a favor or a gift; it’s a way for employers to pay fair market valu...
It’s normal to ask
It’s not greedy or entitled to ask for a raise. Unless you work somewhere truly dysfunctional, it’s understood that you work for money. This is okay.
- you’re not asking for an amount that’s wildly out of sync with the market for your work, and
- you have a track record of strong work.
Be emotionally intelligent about your timing
You shouldn’t ask to talk about your salary when your manager is especially harried or having a bad day or nervous about impending budget cuts.
On the other hand, if you’ve just saved the day with an important client or garnered rave reviews for a high-profile project, or if your boss has seemed particularly pleased with you lately, now might be a particularly good time to make the request.

Does Everyone Need Therapy? | Nick Wignall
"Needing" therapy
By framing therapy in terms of what we need rather than what we could benefit from, many people experience too much shame or embarrassment to try it.
Not everybody needs therapy. But ...
How therapy helps
- Understanding how the way we tend to think about things affects our moods and emotions
- Clarifying our values and strategizing about the most effective path toward them
- Learning to communicate directly and assertively in relationships or the workplace
- Building self-confidence in social situations
- Acquiring more effective parenting skills and techniques
- Working through complicated grief or loss
Therapy and growth
Ultimately, therapy is about growth and creating opportunities for positive change.
And in addition to improving traditional mental health struggles, therapy can also be a powerful and efficient way to make progress on personal goals or aspirations.
