| I left my previous position at the University of Washington and, subsequently, was paid out my 193 hours of unused vacation. 12% went into 401(k), 50% was allocated buying stock and 38% was added to a cash fund. Additionally, my new job paid me a $1200 sign on bonus; however, my new job pays substantially less than my old job for the time being and I've become accustomed to a new found sense of frugality. Hopefully in time my salary will increase and in the meantime I will cautiously rely on dividends and capital gains to continue propelling my net worth. |
