money talk with chan, 3.20.25

chan called tonight to catch up and we got to talking about money. when he brought it up, it reminded me to check if my bonus had hit. i told him i tried to change my 401k contributions last minute before my bonus hit so i had some extra money to spend, but when i checked it didn’t. my 401k ate whatever was left of my bonus after taxes. it’s all good though. i went back to my benefits page and changed my contributions accordingly. i should max out my 401k by august if i did the math correctly. i should’ve paid attention earlier, aka when the merger hit, but they say the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now.

the same can be said with your 401k.
