mean green? :(

In June I left Texas and moved to Denver, Colorado for a new job where I make a pretty fair amount more than previous. My last W2, which would have included all my overtime and my most recent raise was about 47.5k for the year. My current job, at my current pay, with no overtime, is about 59.5k per year.

The only downside to this job is that since its social security exempt, I won't get social security when I retire (assuming its still around). So (assuming its still around) I may have to change jobs 5-10 years before I retire if they work that poo poo out and I feel I even need it. As it is, it goes into a private account, which my employer matches and adds 3%, so its my 6.2%, their 6.2%, plus 3%. Plus whatever the account earns.

Currently I'm planning to use the extra cash to pay my car off early, maybe start an IRA, and maybe start saving to buy a condo or something. Also finished my emergency account, its got 10k in it. I reckon that ain't bad for a 27 year old.
