It's that time of the year for dh's annual raise, which amounts to around $50/month. THEN he found out that our charges for health insurance will be going up by about the same amount.
So, essentially no raise. Inflation, gas prices going up, kids getting bigger and needing/eating more, . . . wages are the same.
Hmmm, time for me to get more creative OR get a job. Really - time for me to get on my knees and pray for wisdom. Thanks for letting me vent.
DH got a raise - Then again, maybe not

The saving grace is that one is on a fiscal year beginning in July, and the other begins in January. I get six months of my "raise" before it's absorbed.
