Simple IRA

Okay so I got a packet of information from my company saying that I am eligible to join the company Simple IRA plan. So basically I can start saving towards retirement with the company matching up to 3% of my income. I am definitely going to do it but now I have some choices to make. I have to decide how much money to put in (obviously at least 3%) but how much is going to be good. I am going to go with the most aggressive plan I can.

So financially now I have roughly $590. All bills due this week are paid. I do have 2 bills that are outstanding. Association dues 4 months worth and my student loan about $350

So I have made a payment of around $140.00 for my student loan.
I am writing a check of $250 for the association to start to get caught up. I will also have Insurance due Thursday when Patti gets paid and I will have to pay gas and electricity ($160) shortly.

Another couple weeks of tough going to get to a point where we can start saving.
