Reducing my 401k Contributions and Broiler Chickens

I decided yesterday that I’m going to reduce my 401k contributions until I’m finished paying off dads debt. That’ll give me like an extra $200 or so a month and I can easily raise it back up once I’m done. I’ll probably still contribute a minimal amount, but not as much as I was. My Roth IRA contribution was already lessened once we knew we were going to have to move. Mainly because that was an after-tax contribution.

My dad and my uncle are going to raise some broiler chickens this year. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, and I think having my uncle help out will make it easier on both of us for now. I do still eventually want to have my own brood of broiler chickens here, as well as laying chickens. We are also raising some turkeys and I’ve already been taking orders for fresh turkey for the holidays.

Going to be an exciting spring this year, lots of planting to do and animals to take care of and the interest accruing debts will be gone 🙂
