It's all just too much

Ever notice how on January 1 everything seems to increase except your salary? Why is it that the salary should only be considered increasable somewhere between April and August? And what is with these people increasing their prices on the first day of the year? It's like: "Happy New Year! That just cost you an extra 10%!"

If my bank account was an advert for Mastercard, it would go something like this:

Life Insurance... 10% increase
Vehicle Insurance... 15% increase
Medical Aid... 10% increase
Cellphone Account... 12% increase
Salary... priceless, UNCHANGED

There are some things money can't buy... that's because after the Mastercard charges and the debtors, THERE'S NONE LEFT!!!!!!!
