What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today? - Page 13

I called the company that administers my Flex Plan to find out why they have yet to process my claim that I sent a few weeks ago. The kind lady asked me to re-send it directly to her.

She calls me a few minutes later. I had been sending an old-assed 2008 claim.

WTF?

Our first crop of herbs sprouted in no time and was growing like crazy. Happy happy!

I was wondering how those things worked. I may have to pick one up eventually.

I have that same problem. So, how are the little darlings in the aftermath?

Describing an anti-gay politician at the office, I used the word "crazy". Now that I work in the mental health field, I probably shouldn't have said that. But no one in the office seemed to care. I'm thinking they have a sense of humor...

Quite content. The smug little.....

You can't really punish a cat for something you did not catch them in the act of and of course being cats, they are goddamn sneaky.

We were stupid enough to have mortgage on our condo that we could afford at the time, which has allowed us to build savings. Which means that now that we have a child and a major change in income (i.e., CP leaving her job), where we would otherwise qualify for assistance under the "Imminent Defualt" requirements of the latest round of federal assistance programs (with only my income, mortgage payments well exceed 31%), we're boned because we have too much $ in savings. Gotta burn through that before we'd be considered for assistance.

Boy, were we stupid for saving money.

That will teach you to be responsible!

Moonie, you probably should try and grow something other than cat nip.

Does it count against you if you transfer savings into a Roth or traditional IRA (or a 529) ?

GD - same goes for college tuition. After my parents got over the shock of being penalized for saving for the rainy day (which was smart, given my dad's health at the time), they decided to do a lot of home improvements, since home value at the time didn't factor in to the calculations. Don't know if that will be the same in situation in 18 years, but you might want to keep it in mind.
