It's a lot coming out of my check but fortunately I can do it, and my wife is doing pretty much the same with hers.
Yup. Doing the smart thing. You'll be far better off in the later years. I should look into an IRA. It's on my to-do list still. HSA is chugging along. I just drop $10 in weekly. I should increase that just to be on the safe end since all these fun medical things are now popping up.

Your company sounds way better for benefits. I only get 3% matched. But you become fully vested with the company after being here for 5 years. I only have a year to go, so that is always good. Can take it wherever I go.
