upped my 401k withholdings again

March 10th, 2007 at 08:55 pm

Since I'm getting so much overtime, I upped my 401k withholdings to utilize the extra income in retirement savings as well as my regular savings. Since I've been with a new company, my 401k matching doesn't start until 1 year, so It'll go into effect in June. They match dollar for doller up to 5%, per paycheck. I can't wait!

Good for you! It really adds up. Are you designating pre-tax dollars?

Yep. All pre-tax. I keep upping the percentages and I'm not really missing it in the paycheck. I LOVE to see my balance grow!
