stressed about the 2%

in December 2010 Moms

Just got my first paycheck of the year, and it really was quite the shock.  Ugh.  Anyone else nervous about how to rework their budget?

    I don't go back to work until March, but H and I were just talking about this tonight. He'll get his first check tomorrow, so we'll see :/

    My paycheck fluctuates b/c I'm hourly, but I got my 1st 2013 paycheck today and didn't notice a huge difference either.  But my employer did send out an email that informed us that the 2% increase DID go into effect on this paycheck, so I don't know if it just didn't make that big of a difference or what.  I read an article on MSN that Said if you make in the neighborhood of $50,000, your weekly increase is only $19 (=~$1000/year).  If you make $30,000, it = ~ $600/year (don't remember the weekly amt).  But I've heard others say that they took a huge hit weekly, so I'm not sure what the difference is.  Maybe look at changing your withholdings if you haven't already done that?  I need to increase mine now that I have a second LO.  GL, sorry it's stressing you out!

    Haven't gotten my first paycheck of the year yet, but insurance premiums have gone up and I had to put more $ in my FSA too, so I know my take home pay is going to be lower this month. We'll see how it shapes up.

    I haven't got my first check but remembered like GrayGhost I upped the FSA and healthcare went up.  Blah.  I'm hoping my annual raise will offset the taxes?  Awesome that I'm going to work for a whole year to just pay more taxes.  Amazing.

    I haven't gotten my first paycheck of the year yet, but I'm sure it will be a significant change because, like others mentioned, our out of pocket insurance costs went up significantly.  Pisses me off.  But we have great insurance, and I have a great job, so I should just stop my complaining, right?

    Yea, both H and I are seeing $50 per pay period less, which works out to about $200 a month, plus our insurance premiums went up. Oh, and I work for the government so we've been under a pay freeze for 3 years.  And daycare just increased their tuition in September.

    Yeah, it's weird that some people don't have a difference.  I am jealous!  I had about a 60 dollar loss and I get paid biweekly.
