Unexpected medical costs
So you know how a couple months ago I got a ridiculously low bill for my dental surgery? It was about $870 instead of the quoted $1,200, or whatever it was going to cost. Anyway, I paid it off in full using my EF. And just when I thought I was safe, yesterday I got a bill from the dentist for an additional $198!!! Apparently they had tried to get my insurance to pay for it, but they rejected it and now I have to cover the cost. It’s not so much the extra money that bothers me – because I owe it … it’s just that I had no idea that the bill was coming, and I haven’t saved up for it at all.
I absolutely 100% do not want to take this money out of my EF. I’ll have to rearrange my budget a bit to accommodate this expense. It’ll probably mean a smaller amount going into my down payment fund for the month. Grrr!!!
