Default Holy Crap! It might just happen!

I have been trying to find a way to upgrade my 16 Iron to a tourer. I have a couple threads here about that. My wife and I have always agreed on a "motorcycle line item" in our budget. It is based upon total income. The Iron is what I could afford then.
Today, my employer informed me that the number two person in the company has stepped down. They cancelled my work shift for tomorrow and told me that they are going to take me out to dinner to talk business. Now, I kind of have an idea who makes what, so I have been guessing at what they will offer me. The minimum raise I can even see them offering would bump my monthly income by $1600. Frankly, that would be disappointing. The raise that I think is coming would be $2400 per month additional. More than a new cycle, I want our mortgage paid off, so I am not in "money no object" land, but I feel like my budget went from 10k to 20k plus.....if the job offer comes through.
With that budget, I feel like I can find sweet 2016 with some of my preferred mods already done. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

hope it works out for you but dont go spending or counting what you dont have yet. Go in with low hope and get a bigger reward then high hopes and a let down.

Good luck with that.Chances are they will want you to take the new position,while keeping your old position and take a cut in pay to do both jobs...
