As usual, my retirement accounts are barely maintaining, and only thanks to continuous contributions, and the great 10% match from my employer.
The insurance company only paid for my deductible and hasn’t reimbursed me for the other $300+ part of the auto bill, so I need to follow up with them tomorrow, but the returned $1000 was a very welcome addition to the expense account.
I’m happy that I still have not had to dig into the emergency fund for any reason at all, and can’t wait to make more substantial contributions to the moving fund. I should be due for an extra dollop of income thanks to all the overtime I’ve been pulling, and happily, they’re actually paying the correct amount of overtime. It’s complicated.
10% match!? That’s amazing!!!
Your net worth looks so healthy š I can’t wait to get there.
There are many types of retirement accounts such as a pension, a 401k, 403b, and profit sharing. An individual retirement account is one of many. There are also many types of individual retirement accounts to choose from such as a traditional IRA, a Roth individual IRA and a SEP IRA. You can learn all about them at http://www.individual-retirement-accounts.net and secure your future.
Looks like you’re doing pretty well – my net worth hasn’t been going anywhere for a while now. Keep it up and before you know it you’ll be past the 100K line.
FB: I know, I’m smitten with our match. It makes up for the zero match from 18 months ago! If I’d had this 10% since I started working and contributing … my portfolio would be SO FAT.
matt: I’m glad that I’m not losing ground even if it feels like I’ve hit a plateau. It’s creeping ever so slowly in comparison to a couple years ago.
