The lease on my iceberg dock is secured for another year. The renewal letter had a rate on it that was above market rate. The leasing agent swiftly knocked it down to market rate (as verified online with their own advertising), at which point I signed. My rent went up by $25 a month, but that's less than 2% and inflation has definitely been more than 2% over the past year, so...
Of course, while inflation has happened over the last year, my paycheck hasn't gone up a bit. My suspicions are raised. Oh well. After last year's 30% payraise, I'm certainly not hurting, and if my current employer does go under I doubt I'll have a problem getting another job. Not too many Linux penguins out there who've been around since pretty much the beginning and thus know where all the skeletons are buried in Linux...

Everything seems to increase in price. Today, one of my neighbors was complaining about the increase of rent every year. I pointed out that we actually don't have an increase every year, it just seems like it. I also pointed out at the properties beyond that have a much higher rental price. Good that you have your renewal secured for the year.
