Ima I just kept ooching him up. His 401 is online and he's okay w/me dinking with it. We went in small increments and it took about a year.

and we'll go 10 in Jan. All w/no raises!! WOO-HOO!! I'm a tightfisted lil' woman when I get my groove on! He never opens his payroll stub just brings it in and tosses it on my desk. He hasn't a clue anymore how much he brings home. But really the small incremental upwards adjustments weren't even all that noticeble to me either and I'm knee deep in this finance stuff every day. He does look at the ledger books every month when we sit down to go over the budget and I explain why we're doing something a little extra this month savings wise
!
The place where they have their company 401K plan is not the greatest and the matching isn't all that fantastic, so I still put 50 a month right now into his Roth as well. After we get to the 10% salary defferal we'll be looking at upping the Roth more while still searching for other investing opps. That Prosper.com over there looks interesting but have only just glanced at it.
He's a wonderful provider and hard worker. This man is so wonnaful that I called him once on the phone and said "Hunny can I buy this house I found? Can we afford it? Yea. Go ahead!" Who wouldn't love a man like that? Put an offer on it w/o him ever seeing it!! What a trusting soul! I'da said hold on tight I'll be right over and we'll see!
He's happy if he has his snack cakes for lunch and a hot meal at night. A very content man and easy to please. Ima, his toys are cars too somewhat although he likes to trade them too often to suit me. BUT computers are his plaything of choice. We have way too many sitting around here needing to move on down the pike!!
