401K Update: Feeling the Burn

This post may contain affiliate links. For more info read my disclosure.

There is about a month left on my 401K challenge and things are heating up. In a recent post I explained how I would be moving to Republic Wireless from AT&T and paying an early termination fee as well as buying a new phone. I’m currently unable to sell my iPhone unlocked because the jailbreaking community is waiting for Apple to release its latest iOS update (8.4). I paid about $300 for my new Android phone and will pay about $250 for the early termination fee while sitting on about $600 worth of iPhone potential. These unexpected expenses are making things a little tight.

And I did not help myself by increasing my 401K contribution from 55% of my salary to 60% – my paycheck this week was hilariously small. I should have enough money to pay rent on the day rent is due. Hopefully I will not have to dip into my funemployment money before then. I’m confident this will work out fine though. I’m leaving on vacation today and two days after I return my next paycheck comes in. Getting paid to vacation is the best. Let’s feel that burn and finish strong!
