Yeah, we got those big banks on the run. Got it in the mail today. According to card, my banking slavery can, apparently, be bought for $150.
A little bit more about the 403B consolidation - HR misspoke about "termination", only that the two accounts will be merged into one. Supposed to save money for the company because both accounts need to be audited. The match (.50:$1 up to 8% of salary) is unaffected, as is the 1.5% just for being an employee. Word, though, is that if you don't participate in the 403B, why give you the 1.5%?
Sliced up some bread to dry and get stale for stuffing. We are hosting this time; DH finished with cleaning the carpet. What's on our list to get is: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, drinks. What's on their list is bread, sides, salad, pie, cheese.
Chase wants me back!

There are reasons to give 1.5% to everyone, again to cut costs and simplify. For most of our smaller businesses, they just give 3% to everyone. It may sound generous, but it's all about the bottom line, saving money, and letting the owners put more in their own retirement. If they only have low-paying employees and give them all 3%, the owners can all max out, and the administration barely costs anything. I don't know what is magic about 1.5%, but probably some benefit to your type employer.

DH gets Chase offers too, but I know that the snottiness and general unhelpfulness of a Chase teller partly inspired me to move our PTA's $200,000+ accounts to a credit union. I wonder how much money one needs to have at a Chase bank to be treated with everyday courtesy. It certainly seems to be higher than six figures.
If you have respect for US military families and people who've saved up to buy a house yet were wrongfully arrested at Chase's bidding -- go Google "Ikenna Njoku, Auburn, Chase, arrest" you would not go back.
