<prompt> Human: I currently work in the finance department of a manufacturing company and work at the plant, however in the next 6 months my department will be moving downtown into a major city and my job will change locations. This means that with traffic my commute goes from 30 to 60 minutes and we have to pay for parking downtown 10-12 dollars per day. If I bite the bullet and move closer to downtown to avoid the awful commute my rent will increase a minimum of 500 dollars, but more likely 700-1000 dollars to maintain the same standard of living and continue living on my own; but that still doesnt change the fact that I have to pay 200 dollars a month to park for work.All in, it is likely that my work location moving downtown will lower my take home income after bills and commitment 25-30.Is it acceptable for me to ask my manager for a raise to help ease the financial burden of the new realities of this move? And if so how should I frame the conversation. Standard of living adjustments or what? Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks.  <response>: Acceptable to ask? Sure.Likely to get? No.Ask, but I recommend that you start looking for your next job.
