[quote=Anonymous]Staying for ten years at the company that gave me my first job out of college, out of loyalty, laziness and the thought that they would be loyal to me when I started a family and leaned back a bit. Missed out on a ton of money because I would have increased my salary so much by switching companies rather than settling for the small raises they gave me even with pretty big promotions with increasing responsibilities. And then got laid off a year after having my first kid. At the same time, my DH stayed in a bad partnership too long where he was pulling three times his weight and the others were hardly doing anything. He didn’t have a draw for more than a year while he was working his ass off. As a result of those two, we weren’t able to hold onto our starter house and its $1500 mortgage when we needed something bigger. We could have spent the past 20 years renting that out for a fat profit. [/quote]
