Bonus!!!

December 17th, 2006 at 01:48 pm

Dh's bonus came through and then some. It was enough to cover about 2/3 of the new to us car that we'll be buying in January. We will pay the rest with money in our emergency fund.

Dd's orthodontic payments are finished in January, as are her gymnastic classes. Dh is getting a bump in pay, and may be going full time, so our monthly income will be going up by $600-$1600 a month, and it looks like we'll be earning an additional $500 on top of that starting in July...WAHOO!!!

My eyes are seeing dollar signs, and I really need to start making a plan for the money NOW so it's not frittered away.

    Yay!!!!!! *applauding*

    Planning is a good idea...does DH have an automatic withdrawal available for retirement and investing? That would be a wonderful place to start!!

    Happy for your good news!

    Thanks! Ray, we put about 20% of our income into retirement savings already, so I don't know that we'll be upping that anymore. It is automatically withdrawn...

    We'll probably put most of it down on our mortgage payments...
