Most travelers aren't aware just how much it costs to cancel or reschedule a flight due to the change fees charged by the airlines. The way people usually find out is that they get sick or have a family member die, and end up having to reschedule a vacation. Only then do they realize how much they're about to be gouged. Here's how to avoid a change fee on your next trip. Some tips for avoiding change fees: - know if you're buying a refundable or non-refundable ticket - Tickets bought on third party sites will have more restrictions and often more change fees. Buy direct. - Cancel the ticket as soon as you can. Often you can cancel within 24 hours of purchase it's no big deal. - Purchase travel insurance. - Hope for a travel waiver due to inclement weather. - In some cases you can get a full refund when a family member dies, natural disasters occur and a few other scenarios.

What is a 401k? https://www.biblemoneymatters.com/401k-contribution-limits-and-rules-for-2019/ A 401k is a tax deferred retirement savings plan for employees. You join a 401k plan through your place of employment, and tell your employer how much of your paycheck should be sent to your 401k before your money is taxed and given to you in your paycheck. Because the amount of your taxable income is reduced when pre-tax funds are sent to your 401k, you end up paying less taxes now, and the money grows without taxes until retirement. How Much Can you Save Every Year? You can Contribute up to $19,000 per year into your 401k as of 2019. $6000 extra if you're over 50. The employer can make a contribution of up to 6% of the employee's salary as well.
