I had a similar situation last month:

New Hearing Aids .... $6000

ENT / Audiologist co-pay .... $12.76 (I have good medical coverage)

Dentist ... cleaning and cap $1235.

ETA: Savings account took a hit.

I would cancel the weed and feed. Be honest, does it look any better than any other lawn in the neighborhood? We have a neighbor that has it done and by mid summer it's not any greener or lush looking than the houses on either side.

Anyone who owns a house can have lots of bills, never ending bills.

Also a car, lots of upkeep.

And then I think, its lucky to have a house and a car, but you need a lot of money to keep them.

Sometimes the more you have, the more complicated life can get, and the more money you need, or want.

because you see possibilities that might not have been there without money in the first place.

And I'm saying "you" as a general person you.

What strikes me about those expenses is the $700 balance leftover from a skin cancer excision. I would question that.

@Mz iMac : Next month my house insurance $800.

Mz iMac · ‎07-26-2014

@SouthernBee And that is just for house insurance.

I still haven't recovered from the OP $300 for BOTH car & house insurance.

Well, yeah, bills suck!

I do freak out, too! But then I tell myself, be grateful that though it's not always easy, I can pay those bills!

Think of the people who have to live on the streets, or in their cars. Be glad for what you have and what you are capable of doing. It changes my perspective at times.

P.S. Sometimes you must have the lawn fertilized. Depending of the age of the lawn or condition, it becomes necessary to fertilize it in order to save it.

@eddyandme Condition of Lawn - you are correct. We (neighborhood) have bad soil - it's clay clay clay with inches of top soil. Weeds are happy with it - but grass not so much.

I reseeded the entire lawn this summer - by myself - with Scott's Kentucky Blue Grass to give the lawn a boost.
