sillygoosegirlDoubly glad to have been on a train today after seeing all the cars stuck in the snow along the side of the road. On my way to the train station, another pedestrian and I helped push a strangers car back onto the road... and fortunately my train was late so I still caught it.
Today, like every Friday, is pay day. After upping my 401(k) contributions to the 75% maximum for the end of the year (we've decided that we are for real not buying a place to live any time soon), and setting Roth IRA contributions to the amount to fill next year's IRAs in 52 weeks, the direct deposit to our credit union accounts was $8.68. Somehow, this really amuses me. I'm seriously bummed out that the amount isn't about $8 or $9 higher however--Josh needs to go on my health insurance next week, and I think that's going to cost around $17 per pay period, so it's going to screw up the direct deposits and require the writing and sending of paper checks. I didn't think this was going to happen, though I suppose I should have guessed that social security taxes are still assessed on 401(k) contributions... it doesn't make sense to allow people to defer those taxes.
