    So I am a team manager in a call center that does tech support for a well known computer and phone manufacturer. (I work on the computer side) Anyway, I have been in the position for about 17 month now and I just found out today that I am going to Tier 2 (basically the folks that tech support turns to) as a team manager there. I'm super excited about it! Now what do I do with this pay raise?

    Gratz!!!

    My advice, wait a month or two to see how new paycheck works out. Trust me, with new income you'll somehow spend more than you used to, reef stuff aside.

    congrats Dan! I know spending the extra$$ will be difficult, but I'm sure you'll figure it out;)

    I have a feeling it bumps me up into another tax bracket. That's the way the luck runs.

    No Kidding. This isn't even that big of a raise. It's cool though. I also get some neat certifications through this company. LOL

    Congrats! I would at least save some of the money. But if I was in your position, I would probably end up buying more stuff for the reefing hobby/addiction anyways :)
