007: How I Got a Raise 4x the National Average (Using Benefits!)

Do you want investing and passive income to be part of your financial strategy? If so, you'll need money left over each month to put toward your investments. Where's that money going to come from?

While I'm all for cutting costs, you can only lower your expenses so much. But your income potential is essentially UNCAPPED so there's a lot more room to make more money when compared to decreasing your spending... So, let's make you more money!

Today, we're deep-diving into a key piece of the strategy I use to get big raises: employer benefits. And if your job doesn't offer benefits, I'll also cover how you can use this fact to negotiate a higher pay rate.We'll talk through:- How you can use your benefits package (or lack thereof) to increase your pay- The specific benefits I focused on the last time I landed a big raise- How I secured a raise that was 4 times higher than the national average

This episode is not for the faint of heart; this exercise is high-effort. But it can absolutely be high reward.

If you're serious about getting a pay increase, this episode is for you. Let's jump in!
