Not quite...about 90% and mostly trying to stop the Republican onslaught on Labor.

Yet, they supported the monster that is the ACA. LOL. They obviously don't spend very wisely. They will never get a penny from me.

 

[watdaflock?]

I think it's about time for you to submit your letter of intent.

Who is the other party?

Went FT in late Jan. so this is year 1 of FT PCD progression.. Question is do we still get 70 cent raise in aug as well or do we only get progession raise on our seniority date? (Southern Supplement)

 

[Man Of Brown]

Western region would be no raise only progression raises. You had to have made seniority before the contract date. Not sure on southern though.

spend it on my daughters tuition…not fun but necessary

 

[Lead Belly]

Our 70¢ an hour raise is only a few weeks away. Do you plan on putting that money in your pocket or raising your 401k?

Upping the 401k. I already make enough dough.

Right answer.

R

Right answer.

Don't get me wrong. It's never enough but it's more than enough. If you give your 401k a raise its a good thing. You really won't miss it.

 

[Number24]

Should I call my union at the end of this month to make sure that I receive my annual raise?

Not at all necessary but nice of you.

How long have you been employed here?

I can't belive this thread is a 50/50 split.

Me either. Why wouldn't everyone be saving that for retirement? You won't miss it to begin with

I know. If you can pay your bills now. Put it away,unless you are really in debt.

While I will prob boost 401k, there are reasons for the other options, including the $17k annual limit to the tax shelter, really great real estate deals popping up, political campaign contributions, and the Volvo C30 is so, so cute.

 

[bottomups]

My raise goes into toilet paper. It gets expensive wiping with $100's. Especially the real messy ones.

Being on worker's compensation, I've had to cut back from the $100's and get by with singles.

One reason could be that when the next fiscal collapse occurs (not too far away) at least half of your 401k will be gone. Perhaps it's better to use the money on tangible assets now. People lost half in 2008, the next one will be much worse.

I've made it back plus much more. But it is alawys good to pay down debt.

Your "tangible" assets won't be worth squat either.


I hope it tanks again. Gives me a chance to buy low.


Like I tell the wife if the stock market collapses to the point that we have no money left. Survival will be the only thing we are worried about. Not how much money we lost.
