I use a row counter chain so I am less likely to forget to update the counter (a different problem). I have to touch the counter to complete the row.
Like you, I change the counter after I complete the row. I know if the chain shows row n, then I have completed row n and am working on row n+1.

However, unless legislation has changed, if you are in Canada and it’s a company pension (not managed outside the company, like for a union pension), the pension is vulnerable to the continued existence of the company. Tread carefully
