never knows best...

dry as toast

I'm not quite comfortable enough to put up actual numbers... But for the past while, I've been keeping track of my 401K and savings on a monthly basis and storing my balances in a spreadsheet. Graphing it out, I get:



Note that these are actual numbers (i.e. not scaled so they fit snuggly). So even though I've had something like a 16% return and I get my 5% company match to help out my 401K, I'm still almost keeping up with dumping money in my savings account.

I think the uptick for October is half because the stock market has been doing well, half because I put in a quite a bit of overtime, which ups both my 401K and savings contributions.
