A while back I mentioned that at mid-October I would hit my EI then my CPP maximum. Well, that time is here! Whoohoo! I've hit my EI max, so no more deductions for that, and I'm $49.05 from hitting my CPP max, so that will happen on the first pay in November!
I also just started contributing to my Pension at work! I already have $611.52 socked away....how did that even happen?! I love employer matched contributions! This money is on top of the $25/week that Jordan and I each contribute to our personal RRSPs. Eventually, I would like to increase our contributions, particularly Jordans because he doesn't have a pension or retirement plan through work.
I'm also very pleased that I'll be getting reimbursed tomorrow for all of my work expenses - to the tune of $2215.14. It's quite a large sum of money that just sitting on my credit card begging to be paid off, so paid off it will be, tomorrow.
Hurray!

ReplyDeleteEmployer matched contributions = AWESOME
ReplyDeleteI never pass up free money.
I keep telling my coworkers to maximum those employer matched contributions but some of them seem to be completely in the dark. It's free money! It's almost better than a raise!
ReplyDeleteI love my employer matched RRSP!! Like Natalie, I don't understand why one wouldn't take advantage of it. I contribute my maximum 4% of my salary every 2 weeks and the company matches it...$2000 turns into $4000 with virtually no effort on my part!
