"Free Money" sort of.

There hasn't been much worth writing about over the past month. Let me start off by saying that this month is starting out to be much better than the last , financially anyway. I received my EIC check the other day for $315 and also found out that my stimulus payment for $600 is due to be mailed on June 13. I was afraid that I would have to report it all as income in which case it would affect Debbie's SSI and my County medical subsidy insurance. I later discovered that it is all exempt income and therefore I don't have to report it at all so it is sort of like Free Money. I will finally be able to purchase some much needed shoes as the ones I am wearing now are so worn out that they are ruining my ankles. I will also be able to pay off the Vet bill and hopefully buy a carpet cleaner which is something I have wanted for sometime. Debbie is in need of some new clothes as well. Speaking of medical insurance, I saw a copy of the bill that the hospital sent to my insurance for an ER visit way back in 2006. For a CT scan and a couple of hours in the ER came to a whopping $17,461.89. I just about fainted. No wonder medical insurance is so expensive in this country. The fees that doctors and hospitals charge are out of control. I suppose that is because we live in such a litigious society that Malpractice insurance is way expensive as well. Well thats about it for now. More later
