I've found a new job

January 7th, 2016 at 02:58 am

I put in my two weeks notice at my job this morning. I've accepted a job at the Dollar General right next to my apartment. It's part time, 15 hours a week. My mom suggested that I try to work both jobs, but because I'm on disability I'm not sure if I can do that without going over my work or income limit.

One of the nice things about working at Dollar General is they have a retirement plan that even part time employees can take advantage of. Dollar General will even match the first 5%. Who would turn down free money like that? :-) I haven't had any type of retirement savings since I left the Air Force Academy, so it will be nice to put some money aside for that. I already consider myself to be "semi retired" due to my disability income. It's not that I need the income; I can pay my bills just fine with my disability. I work as a way to keep myself busy and the paycheck is just a nice bonus.
