Welcome to the first edition of Money for One, where solo earners share their budgets with us. This will be a monthly part of The Budgette. Thank you for those who offered to participate. If you’re interested in participating, email me at singlebudgette@gmail.com. Our first Money for One comes from Southern Ontario. They got a recent salary increase and spends their money on travel, their sister and the local food banks and community fridges. Age: 52 Pronouns: They/them Occupation: Computer Technician Annual gross income: $75,791 (editor’s note: Canadian dollars), it was $61K for the last ten years. I got massive back pay/retro for Bill 124 - Ford not allowing education workers to negotiate raises. This year, I got $13K retro.  This year,  my whole department also got bumped up into a new pay scale with back pay back to 2015.  I haven’t seen this back pay money yet, but my new official annual income is currently $75,791. https://buttondown.email/TheBudgette
