Medical Expenses, Budget & being broke

October 19th, 2010 at 11:42 pm

After my bills have been paid this pay period, money is pretty tight. I have had a LOT of extra medical expenses. My HSA is about to run out of funds and after I refill my normal prescriptions one last time & pay the last of my ER bills, I will be out of funds and paying cash.

Right now, I have left in my budget:

Groceries: 47.39
Spending: 32.21
Mom Birthday: 40.00
Halloween leftover funds: 0.83
Stamps: 9
Photos for family gift: 7.4
Vacation Money: 37.1
Meds: 8.9

Next week, I am scheduled a week's vacation. However, I have no plans and since my health has not been at its best, I plan on doing very little strenuous activity. I'm debating splitting up the vacation time in case I have more bad health days & need to stay home. I plan on talking to my manager about it tomorrow.

There is very little time open to me for vacation days in Nov & Dec, that I am afraid if I don't use them, I might lose them.

In frugal news, the heat has yet to be turned on. Its starting to get a bit chilly, but so far blankets and an extra layer are doing me just fine!

Maybe staying home and relaxing and doing things you enjoy is as good as a vacation. I hope so. I have my own medical problems and have a new diagnosis.... fibromyalgia. I will be blogging soon about it.
