Thinking...

November 11th, 2012 at 02:26 pm

Just a quick thought...the payroll tax is likely to expire at the end of the year. Right now it is 4.2% down from 6.2% at the beginning of 2011. I was thinking as a way to prepare for the change, I should take that 2% and add the money to our truck loan. It's extra now....and in a few months it will be off to the government.

For us that looks like another $122 a month. Seems like a lot! Are you prepared for the possible and likely change?

    Ooh, good point. I've been meaning to sit down and think about all the possible (and definite) budget changes for next year, and this is a biggie. I don't think it was as much as yours, but I remember it being a nice boost to our income. Plus, I've had a raise since the cut was implemented, so that might make a difference!

    It wasn't really an "extra" for me since when it was first implemented I was not being paid via payroll, but I do need to figure out how that is going to affect my monthly income. Thanks for the reminder!
