I transitioned to a new job last year and I lowballed myself per my salary. This year I was able to get my boss to increase my base pay from $125,000 to $137,00, and I feel its closer to national average in my area. With that said, how do you do about approaching salary negotiations?
My current take is $7080, and it should go up to $7600 as of July 1. The following is breakdown of my months expenses and savings.
Mortgage, $1445 ($150 extra payment towards principle)
HOA: $375
CAR: $499, $21,000 (remaining balance)
Insurance: $182
Phone: $68
Calble, Netflix $4
Savings contribution, $2500
Food: $450
Gas: $400
Misc: $300
Savings: $48,000
Robinhood: $27,000
Mortgage value; $435,000 and owe $160,000
403b #1, $72,000. #2: 30,000. #3: 21,000
STRS $156,000, Defined Benefit $65000
My aim is to retire in 2030 @ age 53, but open to extending to 55 1/2. Should the extra funds go to mortgage or should I continue to build up my savings?
