Financial Planning Tip(s)
New Retirement Limits
In this post titled “401k Plans Year 2022 Limits ($20,500 + $6,500 Catch Up), IRA Stay Same ($6,000 + $1,000 Catch Up) … Hmmm?” We go over the new limits and discuss why the catch up provisions are staying the same… the Hmmm part!
We go over not only the 401k and similar limits, but also the IRA and Roth limits and catch up provisions as well.
All of this from a handy IRS announcement found here at this link.

Indeed Job Openings
After multiple reviews here upon getting copyright authority, this most recent is looking awesome….
Major metropolitan areas, not only almost doubling in job openings post lockdown, but looking at the lack of steeping of the curve (far right) job fills are on the rise as well!
Marine Traffic – C/O Marine Traffic.com
Almost went with the Flight Aware map, but since we already know TSA Throughput is rocking from our first noted graph, let’s go to the waters….
This is screened for Cargo Vessels (stuff) and Tankers (Oil and the like) ONLY….
Supply chain bottlenecks, look out … there is relief on the horizon….
There you have it, some very good positives to go with for your hump day viewing….
