另外一个涨薪水带来的负面影响是人会变得太过于自我满足。
2. Another negative effect of a salary increase is being too self-satisfied.
这是积极的态度但是过于自我满足的话，特别是当涉及到钱的时候，这是不好的一件事。
This may be a positive but too much of it, especially when it comes to money, can be a bad thing.

如果你没有监控它，你很有可能陷入巨大财政问题而你还没有意识到。
If you fail to monitor it, you might be in a big financial trouble and you are still unaware of it.
