Slowest Week Ever

I swear, I can't believe it's only Thursday. It seemed like Thursday two days ago. I always forget how quiet summer is both at work and on the internet.

One thing I did get done today was reallocating my 401(k) and then rebalancing it. We have a new company overseeing our 401(k) and we had a meeting a few weeks back. This guy is much more helpful than the last set we had, so I feel like I have a better grasp of the whole thing now.

I see there's a Woot Out at woot.com today.

It is moving very slowly for me too. Yay for the better grasp on 401K.

*whispers* What's a Woot Out?

They normally sell only one item per calendar day, but when they have a Woot out. they put a new item up every time the one before it sells out. I got some nifty headphones and remote during the last one.

Thank you :) I was really pleased at how that one came out. One of the first icons I ever made.

I've never heard of woot.com, so that's interesting.

It's a great icon. =)

I should check them out. Not that I need any new places to spend money. ;)

Congrats on rebalancing the 401(k). Oh, and you do remember Retirement and 401(k) are how I make my living, right? *g* Feel free to ask questions, for you I may actually answer them.

By the way, what company is now servicing the plan?

I was going to ask last you visited Monterey, but forgot :)

Northgate Benefits. We used Morgan Stanly before that.

Mmm, must be a local TPA shop. Glad their communication guy is more helpful then Morgan Stanley.

Yeah, they're a local Bay Area company. Next up is increasing my percentage from my check. I haven't done that in a while.

Yep, even a 1% increase adds up over time and with the tax savings it is barely a blip in a net check. And if your contribution is still within a company match level, even better.
