Husband gets a raise

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a year since I quit my previous job and found another. My workload has increased, as you can see from the lack of blog output, since taking the new position. Today I learned that I received a 10% raise which bumps up our total salary income to $152,440. This will surely help in making our net worth goal of $350,000 by the end of the year. If we can manage to accomplish that feat we’ll still be on the aggressive path of our long-term plan even though we are currently fighting against negative investment returns.

On a side note, since I have been with my current employer for a year I now qualify to contribute to the company 401k program. I’ve already made the necessary adjustments so that I make the maximum-allowable contribution ($15,500) for this year. You may remember that earlier I made mention to the fact that my new employer did not offer any benefit programs. I’ll explain what has transpired since then in my next post.
