Yeah. I'm still playing with the options. But in the mean time, and hoping I forget about it, I've set the automated savings.

EVERY little bit counts there, and if you contribute now, even $35 every two weeks, you might find yourself in a position to retire earlier than you might have planned. $35 biweekly there will mean a lot more than an extra dinner at Outback or two movies with popcorn, or whatever.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-88273472640123685902013-09-27T14:46:32.955-04:002013-09-27T14:46:32.955-04:00I can relate to wanting to do all the bills electr...I can relate to wanting to do all the bills electronically.

This equates to about $56 more dollars each month for me. Of course this raise will affect taxes and pension % deductions so it isn't going to be $56 exactly.<br /><br />I'm not sure how I will filter in this money into my budget as yet but I am most sure most if not all will end up being saved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-30743425587031566642013-09-27T07:21:00.339-04:002013-09-27T07:21:00.339-04:00We didn't get raises this year, but with some ...We didn't get raises this year, but with some stuff being in limbo for so long, I didn't expect one. We did get bonuses. I put those in my "able to sleep at night account" - and I was glad I did! An emergency vet bill for Thing 2 ate up about 25% of that bonus, but I was so glad I had the money set aside.Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348650157037720366noreply@blogger.com
