Great news on the health front first and foremost. Financial will come back with the new gig and some time. The debt free part will really help shoring it up and it will be much less stress going forward. Very happy for you my man!

Good to read things are turning around
That sucks on the 401k penalty. I wish they would get decent regs on hardship withdrawals, but the abuse is rampant, too.

Great news God is good! I'm a 2 time cancer survivor and sober 42 years.

I haven't been around in awhile, and I just wanted to say, "Thank you so much!" we deeply appreciated the help.
And to let y'all know that things have worked out.

First and foremost, I'm cancer free... Thank you Lord!
Had it cut out and I'm good to go.

We got deeper in debt and it was looking grim, so I finally said "F it!" and cashed out a 401k.
Took the damned 25% federal/state tax hit, and paid off everything, debt free now. Even bought my wife the second car she's been wanting.

And the kicker is, I start a new gig with Daher Aerospace on Monday.

Sorry to be so late, I was kinda off line a bit.
That was a rough scare, but very happy for you and your family it was not the big casino. Congrats on the new gig and best wish with the future.
life seems to be a rollercoster and the longer we live the wilder the ride.

Best wishes on lo fronts my friend!

Glad to see some good news on your front. Yeah a big hit by the tax man but to be debt free may be worth it in the long run. And congrats on the new gig.
Keep us posted.

Great news John! Very happy for you. I sure get the life flinging crap at you thing lately.

 

[clifish]

I don't know what your new salary is going to be or your current living expenses will be, but I believe you are north of 50 YO. If so and you find yourself in the position, you can put 27K per year into your 401k with the catchup provision.

Great news Chilie glad life is turning around for you. All the prayers have helped.
