2 out of 3

January 29th, 2015 at 12:30 am

Today I got my W-2 for the bus job. I got mine for the NM job on Tuesday. So now all I need is the one from the call center job and I can do my taxes. Smile I can't wait to see how much I'll be able to put towards my EF goal!

I checked with personnel today to find out exactly when my retirement will start being taken out of my check. They told me the first March paycheck.

So I filled out a new W-4 form to change my withholding to 3. I currently have it at 2, but with my taxable income reduced by 7% I think I'll need it at either 3 or 4 to keep as much of my money as possible.

When I got home tonight I remembered that tomorrow is my day to bring treats for the office. So I took one of the boxes of brownie mix I bought at the store going out of business and they are cooling now. Smile I think I paid about $1 for the mix.


I got credited for another Pinecone survey today. But my total is now 400 points. So I guess I can redeem after two more surveys for $10. Kind of annoying.

5 more work days til my 6 months probation is up!

Every time I get a call where someone is cussing it reaffirms my resolve to save as much money as possible in order to retire as soon as possible.

Notice people - When I give you time estimates, they are ESTIMATES. I can't control if a bus runs late or runs fast. Also, if I put you on hold to find out the answer to your question, it may take some time. Twice today I had someone hang up JUST as I got back to the phone with the answer to their question!!

MOTIVATED to save!

    I'm waiting on a few 1099INT. I also have this memory of something that would arrive late this year...what is it?! We already have the W2 and I have an estimate of owing $638.

    NE brought my third one tonight, so I'll probably work on them tomorrow. I didn't do any stock sales this year or anything else I think that I need forms from. I have the INTs from my two main banks ... so I think I'm set to go. Smile My AGI is going to be a good bit less than last year's, so I think I'll qualify for more percentage of the saver's credit - which hopefully will translate into a sizable refund this year.

    Could the document you're waiting for be investment related?

    Yeah, public/customer service jobs are awful in that way. As a customer, I always try to be polite to the agent no matter how ticked off I am! After all, it isn't THEIR fault!
