I opened my email this morning and learned that I had been charged a $50.00 late fee because I didn't change the amount of my automatic payment to my property management company. I was aware that the assessment fee was going up, but for some reason didn't realize that I would have to change the automatic payment myself.
That's $50 from my $300 challenge. For nothing! But I will count it, because after retirement life will continue to be full of surprises.
Hoping my new Discover It card will arrive in the mail today. I want to use it to buy an airline ticket to Florida, and also to purchase a year of service on Straight Talk. Those two purchases will go toward the $750 required to get my bonus. (Neither will come out of the challenge. Utilities and phone are already counted in fixed expenses; airline travel will probably come out of savings when I'm retired. If I decide I must fly.)
My new medical insurance card arrived in the mail yesterday. So I'll now get on making those physical therapy appointments.
Ouch!
