It's official getting 5% raise July 1st.

June 24th, 2008 at 01:46 am

I just check with HR today, I'm getting 5% raise, or about $150 net extra per month. With all the prices of gas and food keep going up, it's just a wash to me. Do I even treat this a raise, or save it instead.

    I save my raises. Pretend you never got it. I know, easier said than done, but it can be done! Smile

    I saved all of my raises until we had a financial planner come in to talk to us at work one time. He told us to save/invest half and use the other half to reward yourself for doing a good job that year. A good balance, I think.

    If you have been reading my blogs we'd been saving a lot towards EF. But I do need to add more towards my retirement accounts 457 and ROTH, $50 bucks per account beginning next year. I'll think I'll do that. In the mean time, I'll enjoy the extra $$ this yearSmile
