a little update
I updated my sidebar, unfortunately I still haven’t been paid for work I did last month and in January. It’s building up to over $2,000 and I have about that much in work coming up in the next couple of weeks. This pay cheque that happened over the weekend, was the first one where my mortgage payments increased (by $125 semi-monthly), and also where I increased my RRSP contributions to $250 per pay.
My next paycheque will be my single biggest I’ve ever received, on top of my usual pay, I’m getting my bonus. My bonus of $13,650 before taxes!!! I can’t believe it, our company has a great business model that is basically fail proof, even in hard economic times, but still, that’s huge!! I’m looking forward to paying my line of credit off completely with that sucker, I’m also getting money from the girlfriend who’s now moved in, once I have all the new bills sorted out, and their amounts, I’ll probably try to increase my savings even more. Currently I’m doing this per pay:
- $250 rrsp
- $200 tfsa (this will be maxed in october, at which point I’ll move more into rrsp)
- $125 extra to the mortgage (mortgage is now down to 9.6 years)
