EEKS! Budget ReDo

While it comes as a shock, secretly I am pleased:

With my new title, I am going from Exempt to Non-Exempt [overtime eligible]. I know I won't be securing any overtime - but there is something else that will change...

I will now be paid every other Friday [instead of 2x a month].

What does this mean, you ask? Well... gosh darn it, I am going to have to re-do the budget. [love it!] I am also going to have to watch, very carefully, our automatic payments. [eh.]

So, starting soon [wonder how my pay will be affected for May], our household will receive a paycheck every Friday [snowballs!!] My paychecks, because there will be more, will be a bit smaller...so I will have to wait and see what number I will be working with before I can make up my budget in ink [as if!].

401Ks & Penion Plans [I sound like an old fart; nothing against old farts!]

I checked our balances today [kinda like jumping on the scale; you never know what number you will see].

I am pleased to announce each of our 401Ks have more than doubled since January.
Of course, in January, they were at an all time low.

With my company recently being acquired, my new momma company has opened an Pension account for me. In 3 paychecks [ a month and a half ], I already have $267 in there. I have been with the company for more than 3 years, so I am 100% vested! It's so much fun watching that number grow and to know that, in the future, I will have at least .79 cents a month to live off of. At least.
