15 Incredibly Useful Pieces of Advice To Help You On You Travels Through Life
1. Inflation in the last year was 4.2%. If you get (or got) a raise less than that, then you got a pay cut
Reminder that usually a “cost of living” raise is to match inflation, usually 2%. So getting a 3% raise is usually just a little more than cost of living.
The report came out today that in the last year, inflation was 4.2%. That means if you got a 3% raise, your purchasing power is less than this time last year.
I know that a lot of people are unemployed, but a lot also took pay cuts or pay freezes or crappy raises last year (and probably more work to offset layoffs, but that’s for a different discussion). Now that the job market is picking up, inflation is definitely something to consider.

Logan Paul’s Charizard Card
On the night of the biggest boxing fight of his life, YouTube star Logan Paul found a way to showcase his prized Charizard Pokémon card to fans.
Prior to his walkout, Logan Paul was shown on screen in his locker room wearing a diamond-plated BGS 10 Charizard around his neck on a diamond chain. He wore this necklace for the duration of his walk out and in the ring until the bout began.
The first edition, Beckett-graded 10 (pristine) Charizard is said to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — and one of three of its kind.
