No COLA increase for social security recipients

There will be no cost-of-living-increases for recipients of social security.  If you remember, last year there was an almost 5% increase.  That's bad news number one.
The second piece of bad news is there are no COLA increases for contributions to 401k/403b plans.  Contribution limits will remain at $16,500 per year and $5,500 catch up contribution for those 50 or older.  This means for anyone older than 50, you can put away a total of $22,000 a year.
