How can I manage my finances effectively after a salary increase?
I recently got a promotion at work and my salary has increased by about 20%. I'm excited about the extra money, but I'm also a bit worried about how to manage it effectively. I've always been careful with my finances, but I'm not sure if I should be saving more, investing, or paying off debt. I've heard that it's easy to get caught up in lifestyle inflation and end up not saving anything at all.
I've been doing some research and I'm considering setting up a budget and automating my savings. I've also thought about paying off my student loans, which have a relatively high interest rate. However, I'm not sure if this is the best use of my money. I'd love to hear from people who have been in similar situations and have successfully managed their finances after a salary increase.
Can anyone recommend any good resources for learning about personal finance and investing? Are there any specific strategies or tools that have worked well for others in my situation? I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance
