I can't help but hear a "chuh-CHING" in my head every single time I whip out my wallet to pay for something these days. I mean first the car acts up, and then $100 in diagnostic tests later the dealership says it checks out 100% OK. Nice. Go to the dentist...find out I have nearly a dozen cavities that need to be filled (thank you Vera). First trip - 2 fillings = $100 (that is the 20% that I pay WITH insurance, mind you). Second trip - 4 fillings = $125. Awesome. I go to the grocery yesterday to buy food for our dinners this week...then I realize after I get home that I have somehow left the ground beef...AFTER paying for it. $4.25 gone. Just this morning I left out an entire (full) gallon of whole milk and chocolate syrup after getting Cole a refill amid trying to find his missing tennis shoe. $4.00 gone. And that shoe? Yeah. Still haven't found it. $50 gone. Last Georgia Power bill for this (excuse my French) POS rental we are in? Why that would be $428 folks. And that house back in Indy...you know the one with the $200 HOA fee? Yeah - it still exists...and we pay for it...every last bit of it. Called this morning to inquire about the $1700 refund check we are owed from the hospital since idiot me actually PAID the medical bill I received instead of waiting for MCG to pay it (a resident perk)...yeah, that will be 4-6 ADDITIONAL weeks (they cashed the dang thing on August 18th...and then were payed AGAIN by PPG two weeks ago...didn't start the refund process until I called a second time this morning...crooks).
Good thing we have PILES of money that just fall off the trees in the
forest yard out back.
