Wife and I both got a raise today!

This is the only place I really have to brag on myself and celebrate my wife and my own successes without feeling like a gloating dickhead.

28M, merit raises came in today - got my base increased from $73k to $80k, with bonus should put me close to $95k gross income.

Wife went from $77k base to $83k and estimated $7k in bonuses puts her at $90k gross.

It’s crazy to think we will be grossing over $200k/yr household income in the next couple of years. That’s as much as my parents make with PHDs!

Not bad for two 28 year olds with no college degrees living in a LCOL area! We aren’t rich but we’re building wealth and live comfortably, in my mind that’s the biggest blessing I can ask for besides our health!
