Owe the doc and dentist nothing- It feels so good
It never seems like you can get caught up at the doc and dentist.
It seems like someone is always going which means that there is always a bill pending (waiting for insurance to answer) even if you pay the bill you receive promptly and in full.
We have had good luck not having anyone go to the doc and dentist for a while for sickness or check ups or cleanings (knock on wood - hope I don't jink us) Today when I paid the 12.66 to the doc and the $49.00 to the dentist in person, I checked the rest of our accounts and we are all paid up.
It feels so great!
If this feels this good I can only imagine how debt free (including mortgage) feels. It must feel awesome."Everyday as your walking down the street, everybody that you met has an original point of view" -Arthur PBS

I know what you mean about the insurance waiting game - never quite sure what we owe the doc until the insurance pays out. Then I have to make sure its correct.
We don't owe any docs right now but we owe the dentist. And I have a very expensive dentist appointment again tomorrow.“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Well that feeling was fleeting.
This afternoon the credit card bill came. Although we haven't charged anything on it for months we still owe some so that is always a deflated feeling.
It will feel so good when it is all the way paid off.
But the doc and the dentist as still all caught up that is a good thing."Everyday as your walking down the street, everybody that you met has an original point of view" -Arthur PBS
