    Oh I am sorry, esp. about kitty!

    Call and ask the medical people for payment arrangements. I always just make payments, I don't even call and they take them.

    The math never lies, budget in INK!

    Amount of Free items 2012 $391.33


    Debt #2 12/31/12 CC $901.88
    Debt #3 12/31/12 $3648.83

    Madness, mayhem chaos...my work here is done!

    I'm sorry for everything also especially the kitty. Here, my animals are family too. As far as the medical bills go, I was told by the hospital that I was paying that it doesn't affect you when you just take it upon yourself to pay just a little per month as long as it is before the due date. They usually do not put it into collections until you are 30 days late.

    A very rough week. My sincere condolences on the loss of the loved one.
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Thanks everyone. We had Tibby (our kitty) longer than we've had our kids! lol. It was time for her to go though, her quality of life was no longer there.
    Actually we have the $ to pay the medical bills so that is a good thing!
    Just seems everything is happening financially this week!!!!!
