Thinking
Got paged last night. It's interesting. Now that I've trained myself to stay awake after an alarm, I had trouble falling asleep after dealing with it. A trade-off I hadn't considered (though well worth it).
I have recently found out that I make enough money that I can't contribute to a roth IRA, and contributions to a traditional one are not tax-deductible. This is also related to the 401K I have access to at work. I have still budgeted a max contribution for the year, and plan to do the same next year. Gains are not taxed, afterall. And 401K + IRA savings together are a good milestone, as they mark 15% of maximum possible income from job (pre-taxes and with 100% of all possible bonuses).
I should revisit my savings-rate calculations soon. That'll be a part of doing the steps in Your Money or Your Life, I think.
Time to focus on work.
