Having an issue right now and thought I would blog about it. Why does everything cost so much and where does all of my hard earned money go? I have always tried to figure this out and have always come to the same conclusion, I work to pay bills.
With my recent back issues (soon to be over...hopefully) I have had a ton of out of pocket expenses. The amount of money going out is ridiculous!! I have a $600 deductible and $1200 out of pocket. To some this may not seem like much but when you're getting $377 bills here and $100 bills there, it adds up!! I know I have surpassed my deductible and pretty sure that the out of pocket has now been met, but there are still bills that I am paying on. MRI being the biggest one and the bill for the last injection hasn't come in yet but I'm expecting it to arrive very soon and am so excited about it!! I hope that you all were able to sense my sarcasm in that last statement. Right now I am sort of doing the snowball effect to get my bills paid and have paid off my car, furniture and am working on my card that I used for Lasik and dental work (btw that has been out of control lately too). The snowball effect has worked pretty well thus far the only issue is that I keep incurring medical/dental bills and they are causing my snowball to melt!! LOL So I know that the worst is over and now I am on the downhill slope it just takes time. I wish I got paid maybe like 4 times a month (of course I still want the same check amount all 4 times) then I would be doing really well.
I guess this is life and once I get all or a majority of the debt taken care of, it will be such a huge relief. I can save the extra money I am paying towards the bills and either pay cash or at least put a very large down payment on a new car. So I'm trying to keep my eye on the light at the end of the tunnel and hoping that my car will wait for me to get there.
