Wealth Today

Our company met our goals, so they’re dropping in a bundle of cash into our 401k. It won’t quite be a 100% match, but it’s pretty good.

 The value also went up yesterday to the highest I’ve seen since I’ve been enrolled. That pleased me to peaches.

 This is the first time I’ve seen a company do matching based on performance. I think it’s a good idea, because we really get to feel a partnership with the company, but at the same time I wish it was more like a 100% match and I got whatever I put into it. Currently, I’m not putting enough into it to max out a IRA, but people around me tell me to put the minimum in the 401k to qualify for the performance based match, and then invest the rest into an IRA. If I max that out, then put anything else into 401k. I’m not so certain that this is a good idea, but I’m definitely interested in hearing other people’s opinions on it.

How do you feel about this strategy?

It’s been quite some time since my last post, but I have been working on the site. I’ve switched hosting providers and that was rather time consuming. I’m really glad it’s over with now though. I’m enjoying some of the new features, and I’m sure you’ll love the much better performance. If there’s any issues that arise, please let me know. I’ll do my best to post something worthwhile in the next coming days.
