The jump in the cost of living has hit hard, with fuel, energy and food costs rocketing. Yet, for many, wages haven't increased nearly enough to cover these additional costs. While it won't always be possible, asking for a pay rise could help alleviate some of the financial strain. This week, we want to know whether you've ever been successful in asking for a pay rise.

I voted No - other, because I’ve always worked in the public sector (local government & civil service) where there are fixed pay bands for each grade, and no flexibility to negotiate within them - outside, of course, of joining the union and campaigning for all staff cost of living pay rises.In a better financial position than ever before (thank you MSE!). Moved back to Scotland and now trying to keep debt-free!0
