I have been very bad about keeping up with balancing my checkbook, but tonight I got caught up from August. It balanced to the penny, so all's well that ends well, right?

I also logged into Sheri's 401(k) and bumped the contribution rate from 1% to 10%. When I got laid off I moved it down to 1% from 15% because I did not know how our money situation was going to turn out. Once I get regular full time work again I will max her out again at 15%, and do the same for the 401(k) at whatever company I wind up at as soon as I am eligible.
