Punny Poll #17: Is Your Income Keeping Up With Inflation?
Author: Nick

Last week’s month’s year’s (oops!) Punny Poll asked you to decide who could possibly replace Bob Barker as host of The Price is Right when he retires in June of this year. Nearly 40% of you said that nobody could replace Bob, and I couldn’t agree more! But if Price is to continue, the more popular picks for its new host included David Letterman, Marc Summers, and Regis Philbin.

Despite our company stock being up over 50% in the last year, I’m sure our annual raises next month won’t reflect that increase. In fact, I’m concerned the average raise of people at my rank won’t even beat last year’s inflation rate of 4%.
How about you, hard-working Punny readers? Whether it’s through raises or other sources of income, do you expect 2007 will bring you more money than last year?

Since I live in a state where the minimum wage is indexed to inflation, I expect that my income will keep up just about exactly with inflation.

Nope. I hate my salary structure. That’s why I got to keep trying to make money on the side
