Incoming ...

I was able to confirm that my 401k payout was mailed this morning.

Hellooooo $5,000.

It sucks that I had to take a serious early withdraw hit, but defaulting on the loan meant I had no choice if I didn't want to get socked with the taxes at the end of the year.

So that's on its way and I'm hoping it'll help relieve a good bit of stress.
