save money for retirement

First it was credit card debt, then it was student loans, then a wedding. Now it’s the fact that my company decided to basically hand all of us a pay cut. Of course, they weren’t that upfront about it. Nope, instead they waited until there was a horribly crappy economy and ad spending was down before they changed our pay structure. So now, unless every auto maker decides to double or triple their annual ad spending, I will be making less this year. YEAH!

unfortunately, saving money for our next home gets in the way of really setting money aside. i still maintain a solid 401k, but i would LOVE to do so much more.

well, the wedding is paid off, the credit card is also paid off and i have less than $1k left on my student loans so yes, i am working on retirement.

this is just such a lovely future goal. one that i can’t even consider doing right now. maybe after i’ve paid for my wedding, then paid off my credit card, and student loans..i can actually start up my 401k again! what a novel idea!
