<prompt> Human: Hi PF, I am a 22 year old chemical engineer. Here is the basic overview of my financial situation currently in my life:Rent: 190 Phone: 70 Internet: 25 Electric: 35 CC: 60 Car Insurance: 65 Gas: 200 Food:120 Total Loans: 0 Total Bills: 765 Per MonthI just accepted a job offer that will be paying me 58,000 to start, with a raise after a 6 month evaluation. It is salary and I am paid Bi-weekly Not sure if relevant or not. I always pay the current balance due on my credit card so that I never pay interest. I have always paid my bills on time and see no reason why I wouldnt in the future. I have an emergency savings account which has 2,000 in it currently. I am already starting to boost that to about 6 months worth of my total monthly bills and then not touch it. I also plan to max out my Roth IRA contribution for next year.My Question:What can I do now as an investment move that would increase that 58,000 per year to say, 75,000 per year? Or even 65,000? I am very good about doing my homework before making any type of investment. I have considered investing in houses that could be flipped in a couple years from now, as well as one day buying a piece of property and building my own storage unit business. But what are some other things that someone in my situation could get into right now to boost up that annual income? Thanks a lot. TL;DR: Just received large increase in my annual income, how can I increase it even more?  <response>: Maybe at 22 and starting a new job your focus should be on learning all you can in your field and being a valued employee with this new company. Flipping houses sounds great, but takes lots of time, energy and recourses. When we flip houses Im a contractor we make sure that we have the funds to cover expenses during reno and waiting for the sale to go through. Maybe part time at an easier job, Im sure your new boss will appreciate it. Just saying.
