April and May were awesome months. June…not so awesome. A series of events has left me very grateful for our emergency fund. I’m not happy to have to pull from it, but it has to be done.
First of all, our health insurance company didn’t receive our bill payment from our bank. It is no where to be found. Our bank was nice when they called me about what to do. We issued a stop payment on that check and the money was refunded into our account. They told me they would issue another check on Friday.
Friday came and went and I didn’t see a check going out. I thought maybe it was just a delay with showing online. I checked Monday…nothing. Then Tuesday…nothing. Today, I sent out a check myself. A little bit later, I see that the bank sent out a payment today. I knew the double payment could happen but my husband needs to go back to the doctors shortly. We need our insurance reinstated.
Secondly, there are the medical bills and prescriptions that we had to pay out of pocket because our insurance has been cancelled due to non-payment. That was a little unexpected, but we had enough around to cover that.
Lastly, a trusted advertiser on here has not paid me and they are not answering my emails. If you notice an advertiser on here disappear shortly – you’ll know why. I understand if my check was lost in the mail – it happens. I don’t understand why my emails have not been replied to. That concerns me.
That brings me to our savings account. Thank goodness it is there. I pulled out $500 to cover the double insurance payment and to help cover any future medical bills until our health insurance is reinstated. I didn’t really want to touch it, but there isn’t much else we can do at this point.
It will be very interesting to see how June plays out.
