"Christmas Bonus" time

November 20th, 2007 at 06:03 pm

DH and I work for the same employer... we each get a "bonus" today. He grossed $2080 and I got $1200. Mine is actually $2400 each year but I get half in Nov and half in June. So, anyhow, after taxes, that’s another $2600 to put toward the wall debt. The balance is $17500 right now. So, after the $2600 and another $4900 that we have saved up, that leaves a balance of $10,000. We had planned on paying off the entire balance from the sale of some mutual funds that we have…. But with the stock market the way it is right now, I’d rather go ahead and transfer that balance to another credit card, 0% until Sept 08 for a $90 fee, to leave the mutual funds where they are until the market improves. Our mutual funds value will definitely be worth more than the $90 fee if I leave it alone right now.

With other news, my touchy-feely boss has announced her retirement as of June 30, 2008. We are actually losing 3 top level folks within the next few months because of retirement so it’ll be interesting around here to say the least.

So, today is my last day at work before the Thanksgiving Holiday. Tomorrow will be prep day at the house. I bought a 20 lb. turkey to feed the 25+ folks we’re expecting. I have so much cleaning and stuff to do! Happy Thanksgiving all!

    Are you going to have enough turkey for that many people?
