Warning: I was stuck in a job I hated for 3 years until I tried the 'reverse budget' trick.

Oh man, I saw a video about that reverse budget thing. It's where you figure out how much you NEED to make first, then build your job or side hustle to hit that number, right? Totally flips the normal way of thinking on its head. It sounds like a way better plan than just taking whatever pay you're offered and trying to cut back on everything. Makes you focus on the income side of the equation first.

Yeah @sandra_anderson, I tried that last year and it forced me to ask for a real raise instead of just hoping for one.
