I'm in the same poor house with you, sister. LOL

No dental insurance = paid $400 this week plus 2 prior visits $$
Spring Lawn treatment - changing companies but will be $350 my guess
Fall clean-up paid $250
Utility month bill - $194
Next month - car & house insurance - $300

And...........on it goes
Bills for rental property - gulp = Enough
Sometimes feel like a money clearing house

I'm a senior without dental insurance as the premiums are too high. I found a GREAT Dental Office right near my house - and they give a 5% discount for not having dental insurance or being a senior." And - their prices are very reasonable - and it's one of the best dental offices I've ever been to. Are u getting a discount for not having dental insurance --- are u happy with how they take care of ur teeth? If not, u may want to check Yelp - and ask friends/relatives about their dentists. They all charge different prices. Many dentists are incompetent or they tell u that u need work - when u don't. I saw tv programs about this.

Obviously, a number of those expenses were absolutely required. But maybe a few were avoidable? I mail so few things that I have Forever stamps I purchased 5 or 6 years ago.

I pay all my bills on-line. FREE

@Mz iMac : Took second look $300 car and house insurance? I don't have a car. DH has the car and he is responsible for the insurance and not sure what he pays. We tried to bundle the car and house insurance but DH always had issues. To much to deal with now but will be searching for another agency.

I have an insurance agent - and have auto and home insurance together. Get quotes on-line. My agent's office is 20 minutes away.

What caught my eye was a roll of stamps ..... don't you pay your bills online? I bought a sheet of Forever stamps last year, and I still have half left. Most were used for birthday cards. Stamps got expensive and paying online is free. JMO
@Tinkrbl44, I think I buy stamps once a year, the small book of 20 and I'm good to go!

I can't even begin to imagine how much we saved in postage since I started paying the bills through the bank bill pay service.

I've been paying my bills thru Chase on-line for many, many years. Never had a problem.

I cringe when December rolls around. Our car insurance is due, it's my sister's and good friends birthdays, our annual dues for our vacation club comes due and then there's Christmas and all the unexpected expenses....always something.

Most of us pay our bills on line. But stamps are needed for other uses. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still mail out Christmas cards, birthday cards, Valentine cards, and even a few St. Patrick's day cards. And unfortunately every so often I need to send a sympathy or a get well card. Also I send hank you notes. I do not use eCards or emails to reach out. Stamps won't put me in the poor house and I think most people appreciate a handwritten note on a card.

@fthunt I only wish! It's our monthly payment.

I only wish our home/auto insurance was $300 a month. I pay WAY more than that.😢😢😢

I need to move--for more reasons than one.
