Give Yourself A Raise

During this time of economic upheaval, many colleges are having their funding reduced. We were invited by the Maricopa Community College (MCC) District (comprised of 10 Arizona based community colleges) to speak to their staff and provide them with ways to make their personal income go further.

We applaud the PSA at MCC for being proactive in helping their staff members. Through smart planning and reductions in non-staff related expenditures they were able to keep their head-count virtually unchanged. All this, while other educational institutions were experiencing mandatory furlough days, reductions in pay and layoffs.

We shared a presentation entitled, "Give Yourself A Raise.

The idea is basically this: Earning more money usually takes more of your time and requires you to pay more in taxes. Simply stated: to bring home $100 more, you have to earn about $128 — based on taxes taking 28 percent of what you earn. The math is very simplistic, but you get the idea. 

But applying our four keys to economic survival will save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars each year. And it's all tax free! If you save $100 by requoting your auto insurance, it's the same as earning $128 more — without the need to report it as income. We present dozens of ways that individuals can give themselves a raise.

We shared four keys for giving yourself a raise are:

1. The Profits of Planning
2. The Rewards of Research
3. The Power of Persistence
4. The Authority of Attitude
