I’m grateful for my raise via /r/gratitude

This is the most money I've ever made. I didn't think I was going to get it. I was offered less, asked for more, and we met in the middle. I've never asked for a raise like this before, much less negotiated for more. It was an $11.5K raise. I'm very thankful and very proud of myself! This is going to finally give us some breathing room.
