So I've been reading on CD everyone crowing about how much bigger their paychecks are and I can tell you my paycheck just went DOWN.

What up?

I didn't really have a chance to review it with a magnifying glass or anything ~ but it appears my health coverage went UP.

Thanks Trump!

I just got notification today that my checks would be increasing because of the tax bill - as ADP finished with the updates.

It's taking some companies longer to implement the changes... for whatever reason.

Spend the time you waste on CD furthering your education and/or get a second job. Start investing.

Stop expecting things to just magically improve. YOU have to go above and beyond what the crowd is doing to differentiate yourself.

The winners are winning bigly. Stocks are going UP... more than 25% since president Trump took office (not that he can take the credit).

We are no longer in the era of "Obama" and his message of "entitlement". You are not "entitled" to anything, and that includes a paycheck.

You have to actually work to get paid. You have to do a good job to get a raise. If they are cutting your pay, I suggest you do a personal inventory. Pretty simple stuff.

Glad to have cleared this up for you.

If you live in a blue state, complain to your state reps and tell them to cut their budgets or learn to live within them instead of raising taxes for pork projects and their cronies. Tell them to boot out illegals.

Not every company is generous. There are bad bosses.
