Great ideas, I like cougar's comment of giving yourself a raise through self employment because bottom line we are all our own bosses and if we can't make it happen with the person that is paying us for our time then it's time to move on to something better!

I personally think that you should never ask more than 20%. And be sure you deserve that raise. Work hard, bring value to the company and you will be rewarded. Gordon Hayes
