I know I shouldn't really be whingeing about this but I can so I will. 
I just got a pay raise... and with the adjustments to WFF based on my increased income I get a whole $22 extra per week. Suckerooni.  
ETA: I am grateful that I get WFF at all so don't get me wrong... I'm all  about that!

I should clarify that my student loan is being paid off at a higher rate and my kiwisaver account is getting more put into it... but that ain't gonna help me pay off my overdraft! he

I might just edit some of the details out... if I was a bit more anonymous I'd not be worried but just in case

My last payrise, based on the same scenario (pay goes up, WFF and accom goes down) was going to increase my income by $12/week. Well, at least it didn't go down but I was disappointed! ------------- |
