      I got a fun “barista fire” job at hobby store. I’m getting min wage for like 8 hours a week. It’s quite perfect for what I wanted.

      I signed up for the company Roth 401k with T Rowe Price today. I’m allowed to contribute max 50% of my pay. I don’t think there is any matching.

      And I signed up for a couple extra benefits like legal plan and AD&D.

      I think by the time my payday comes, I might see $50 every other week!

      I’m quite grateful to still be able to contribute to 401k, however small. As I had quit my full time job last year.

          Where do you work, if you don’t mind sharing, that you qualify for employee benefits working 8 hrs per week?

          I have to work 24 hrs/wk to qualify for benefits at my place of employment.

          I’d prefer to work less!

            That’s pretty similar to what I want to do when I retire. I don’t ever want to fully stop working, but I’d love to work a day or two per week doing something I enjoy without worrying about the money it pays

              I’ve never heard of Dungeons and Dragons as an employee incentive before, but I guess it could make sense for a hobby shop.

                Some major retailer’s actually have decent 401ks. It was the only part of the job I didn’t feel totally screwed about.
