New Year, More Focus

January 15th, 2022 at 05:15 pm

I’ve slipped out of the habit of blogging and financial things are still happening.

 

My paychecks are back to the normal lower level since social security and 401k contributions are again being deducted. The company for the first time in decades (and maybe ever) increased its matching contributions from 50% up to 5% of total compensation to 50% up to 6% of total compensation. I still think that’s lower than the benefits offered by some of our major competitors but I was pleasantly surprised.

 

I’m targeting to retire in 18 months and I have a ‘This is the home stretch!’ feeling. I want to get some home projects done that could become pricey and I want to begin transitioning the way I spend my free time. When I finalize annual goals, I’ll focus on those aspects.

 

Happy new year!

    Certainly retirement is a good thing to look forward to. Glad your company is raising their compensation, even if it isn't a whole lot.
