At my company, they dropped 401k matching - which sucks because I was going to start mine.  And then they put us on this new commission pilot where we have the ability to make 5% in commissions for a week - which is normal.  The max before was 2% a month.  Oy vey. 

My company also dropped its 401(k) matching last year, though it may start up again sometime this year or next year.  However, you should consider starting to save anyway.  Whether the company contributes or not, it's still the same chunk out of your paycheck.  The only thing matching does is raise the amount that goes into that fund.  401(k) contributions are exempt from taxes so you only actually lose some of that money as far as take-home pay goes.  That makes saving in a 401(k) a lot more effective than saving with after-tax dollars.

Good point.  I'll have to dig out the book they sent me and everything.  I know it would be smart to do it, but the company matching was more incentive.

Dropping the matching 401k matching is pretty scummy, especially since thats where most people took the biggest hit. 

I would tell 'em I don't want it any more, and pull your funds.  Roll it over into a different fund, without being whacked with the taxes.  The company gets incentives for people holding their K program.  You can probably defer it into a Fidelity that isn't associated with work and keep the payroll deduction rolling tax-free. 

In other words, Fuck Them.

We moved into the new house on Saturday, and most of it is unpacked by today, Monday.  Each day since has been filled with unpacking.  That means that I've been in the process of packing and unpacking since Tuesday of last week.  The old house was one story; whereas the new house is two.  My whole body hurts, but the end is in sight.

That's exciting.  Congrats on the new house and all.  Is the vagabond brother still with you guys?

Maybe this is what Rillion meant about being mostly unpacked. The vagabond probably fit nicely into a wardrobe box, and can be stored in the garage, until needed.

Thanks!

Yes, vagabond brother is still with us, though he's turned out to be slightly less annoying since he's talented at fixing things-- a lighting fixture is slightly off kilter, some rooms need dimmer switches installed, etc.  And the house is situated in such a way that his bedroom is pretty far away from ours, and the upstairs is carpeted so we don't have to listen to him stomping around in the morning.  Hooray.

One casualty, unfortunately, was the bed frame.  The staircase is kind of strangely angled and has a landing, which means that our gargantuan one-piece wooden king-sized bed frame couldn't go up it without possibly killing the banister, so we have to get a new bed frame.  I'm now trying to find one that is sturdy and looks good but won't break the bank.   Maybe something like this:

Agreed...unless you're living with your mother-in-law. :(

I have mastered quiet fucking, it kind of makes it better when you have a hand covering your mouth.
