I think I should be paid more

don't we all?

Let that motivates you more to complete that side project

@Ikun Not really. I get more salary than I usually spend in a month. I live in a basic house, but it has gigabit internet and is close to a city center. I spend very little on clothing, have no car, and no student loans to pay off.

My "next step up" would actually be working less hours, but that can be more difficult to manage than a pay raise, when coworkers depend on you.

Me too and I can't ask for a payraise coz my pay was raised just a month back. 😮

@bittersweet Good for you mate. While I am satisfied with my income there are times where one feels more money would've been useful.
