Paid off a big bill last week. Broke my tooth tonight, it never ends
there was a billing issue with my gas and electric, so for a few months I wasn’t getting a bill and I had to estimate how much I’d need to put aside to make sure I’d have enough. and im in the northeast US, this winter was brutal so I knew the bill would be high. it finally came in late April, and last week I paid the bill on time and was only off by about $30. I had saved appropriately, and used my tax refund combined with the savings to pay it off. it was such a relief to get that big bill off my head.
tonight we were eating popcorn, what’s supposed to be a cheap snack, and I realized one of my teeth chipped. now I need to contact my dentist tomorrow, and while I do have the credit card space to accommodate whatever this bill is going to be, it’s just SO exhausting. it never fucking stops!!!!!! it’s just one bill after another until you croak. I am just so fucking tired of thinking about money, I already know my student loan payments are also going to kick in later this year and I’m going to have to squeeze my budget even tighter. it’s so fucking exhausting, can’t even enjoy a snack without it ending up in a huge bill. here’s hoping I can get an appointment before the holiday weekend and that it’s just a simple filing, and not something bigger.
