Do you make more money if you change jobs every few years, rather than staying with the same employer?
The theory would say that you do. In most cases, your employer would increase your salary annually to keep in line with inflation, or a bit more.

I’m not preparing for retirement because I don’t plan on retiring. I don’t think very many people in my generation will retire.Continue reading “How is your retirement preparation paying off?”
