raise!

I just got a raise.
I've gotten a raise before. I went from $6/hour to $6.25/hour. That's a difference of about $40/month, if you work full time. I didn't at the time, I worked about 15 hours a week. Which means that it's about $15-20/month.
usually raises are about 3% or so, to cover inflation. or so I've been told.
mine was over 20%. and it's retroactive from November 1. I'm guessing that isn't normal.

oh. my. god.

this means JP and I are totally financially independent. we don't need any help to make it through our day-to-day lives, and we can save money and pay off debts and have fun.

does this mean I'm good at my job?
