I'm pretty happy to see my net worth is still going in the right direction! Wow, that little 401(k) balance is raising rapidly. I've been working lots of overtime lately, so not only have my paychecks been bigger, but my 401(k) contributions (and therefore the company match) have been larger. I don't even think about the 401(k) much because it's an automatic deduction, so it's a good way to easily save money for retirement. Ever since I left the job with the Simple IRA over 10 years ago, I've always had to make a decision that I have going to invest in my IRAs, so I've always kind of mentally wrestled with whether or not I really wanted to put that money and not see it again until retirement. Now I don't have to decide (although I am kind of debating about putting some in my Roth IRA this year as well). If you have the option to invest in a 401(k) or something similar (403(b) etc.), I would highly recommend you do so!

It's nice to see my net worth is heading in the right direction. As you can see I have a new entry this quarter: a 401(k)! I recently got a new job with not only an increase in my hourly wage, but it also has benefits including health insurance, paid vacations and a 401(k)! I am currently contributing 10% of my income into the 401(k) and I was pleasantly surprised to see it is well over $1,000 already. Some of that is not fully vested yet. I believe I have to be with the company 5 years before their matching contributions are 100% vested.

Our savings have dropped a bit due to getting our house re-sided. I thought we overpaid:( It's disappointing to work and save for so long and then spend it so easily. Sadly my husband want to buy a brand new truck. He bought a brand new Ford Ranger in 2001 and I think he said he paid $14,000. To buy a comparable brand new 4 wheel drive truck now (they no longer make the Ranger), it would cost about $40,000 after tax and fees. Wow!  Has inflation really been that bad?
