The mutual funds in my 401k went up 12.9% for the past year; the real benefit is that my my employer matches 50% of what I contribute, so my actual increase is 69.35%.
And I finished our taxes today, except for a couple of minor deductions. We'll be getting more in refund than we paid in, due to mortgage deduction, education credits, and so forth and so on.
Good for you, I'm headed the other way... (big tax bill, no deducations, RRSPs underwater...)
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, the reason I'm getting the big deductions is because of the big expenses--mortgage interest, college tuition, and medical.
