Dh found out today that his company is giving all 401k participants 3% of their base pay over a specified twelve-month period and depositing it into their accounts, as a means of profit-sharing. Woo hoo!! Free money! 
DH's raise also went into effect as of last Friday, I believe. Once we see the new take-home pay, we're going to up our 401k contribution.
And, after a lot of whining and complaining on my part about slow sales in my store, I made a sale this morning. A small one, but a sale nonetheless. This week I've added three new bracelets from one of the original artists to join the store, as well as some full and half aprons my mom made (some over vintage patterns) and an aran stitch ladies cardigan that my mom knitted.
And as a plug for the store - 10% of all sales are being donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Any of my items (or my mom's) will yield a 30% donation.
10/1 - 10/13:
Groceries: $121.09 (goal: $295 or less)
Dining: $55.37 (goal: $160 or less)
Total: $176.46, or $13.57/day (goal: $455, or about $14.68/day)
Gas: $78.31
Excellent 401k news!
