NT got a raise! Upped 401(k)

June 9th, 2016 at 05:50 pm

NT let us know yesterday he'd gotten a 5% raise! A conservative estimate is $60 more per paycheck, but we'll see once it kicks in; supposedly it's effective June 1 but will appear in the June 31 paycheck, which I find a bit confusing. But not complaining! Big Grin Counting AS's teaching raise and my recent one, we've all gotten them this year!

I went ahead and upped NT's 401(k) contribution by 1%. With all the crazy expenses this year I was going to wait to do that, but since it'll come out of raise money and we'll still have a net gain, I figured I could at least do a little. He's now contributing 5%, with a 2% company match, so at 7%. Eventually we'll get that up to 10% and someday 12% or 15%, but this is a good baby step.

We are now at 7% for him, 9.5% for me and 10% for AS, plus we hope to max out all three Roths for the first time this year.

    Yippee! Congrats on the raise and making the smart move to increase retirement at the same time. I usually do that with my husband's raise, too.
