don’t mess with my future
I was expecting to see retirement withholding in my paycheck this week. It wasn’t there, and I was really disappointed. I asked our accountant about it and she said, "It’s not in my system." I told her that I registered, and it should be in her system. She manually put it in while I sat there watching. Then I asked, "Is there a way to make up for this check’s withholding in my next check?"
This woman said, "Is it that important?"
Hold. my. mule.
I took a breath before explaining to her that I was looking for the withholding this check and was disappointed to find it not there, so it would be great if we could account for it on my next check. She said she could make that happen for me. Great! Thanks!
Is it that important?!?!?! Yes! It’s THAT important. I feel behind as it is, and I don’t want to be eating dog food in my golden years and I know the power of compounding so I don’t want to lose any more time and whatdoyoumeanisitthatimportant!!!
Relax, relate, release. I’m okay now. I’m definitely going to be okay when I get my paycheck next month and it shows retirement withholding. Anyway, that’s the story of why I still don’t have any money in retirement, and why I just better have some next month.
Ha! I hear you about the dog food! lol
