Default Re: The Falsehood of "Living Within Your Means"

Priceplus you have missed the point. A raise can actually COST you money by putting you into a higher tax bracket. Benefit costs could rise well above the amount of a raise. I am the best at living below my means and have amassed enough for my retirement. The point was to get people to thinking differently. Oh, today the savings rate is negative for Americans. Anyhow thanks for pointing out the highlight of the conversation.
