So we got DH's new paycheck and it now smaller.
We started deductions for baby's dependent care flexible spending account.
We are deducting the full $5,000 between now and December 31 (we can spend the money until end of March). That way we can do another $5,000 next year. Deducting it pre-tax saves more than 1/3 of that money.
So it is a money-saving thing, but check is now smaller.
With dependent care deductions, flex health spending account and 401K being deducted the check seems so small. It is a psychological thing. I do understand these things are benefits that save money. It is just when you transfer money after getting a paycheck, you get a different feeling than you do when you get a smaller one.
Smaller paychecks from now on.
