Updating with number from September. Anticipating some expenses in the next few weeks as I attend a wedding in Florida - travel, food, incidentals, etc. Mid-October my category will change at work. Expecting around a $20k raise as a result. The increased income should help with increasing retirement contributions to make up for the insufficient 401k at my current employer. I'll be maximizing the match there and I believe there is an opportunity to buy stock at a discounted price or perhaps some profit-sharing. Either way, I'll see where I can fit it into the budget to benefit.
The holidays are coming up, I'll need to set money aside to prepare for those expenses. I also need to make arrangements for repairs to be completed around the house. I've been dragging my feet on getting it done. |
