May 1 begins Medicare coverage. Part B from the Government is $134 or thereabouts. My supplemental will be $88 (including prescriptions). Last year I paid $628 PER MONTH for Kaiser so I will be spending about $400 less each month. And my new right knee won't be thousands of dollars out of pocket (although yesterday I was will to pay the whole thing just to stop the pain)
Yesterday's mail also brought me unexpected good news. My car payments have ended! I thought I had a four year (don't worry, ZERO interest) loan but turns out it was just three! Yippee skippee that's a nice chunk of change as well.
My "income" is so low that I do not owe any taxes. While I'm not sure that is such good news, I'm taking it as such.
And let me not forget to mention my check from Honda Financial Services. Yep. $1.40 overpayment on the car loan. Heading to the bank first thing on Monday!
Wow, you've got lots of reasons to be happy about your financial situation right now. Not having car or mortgage payments is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to get that knee replaced?
As soon as I know my Medicare is working! I was going to wait til the end of the summer (so I could play in the pool with the boys) but it is just tooooo ouchy!
DeleteNow ... if we could just get rid of the storage unit ....
Yippee!! Girl, you need to take us all to lunch.
ReplyDeleteYou will be so happy when you get that knee thing taken care of.
I WILL be so happy to get the other knee done. I may need PT to learn how to walk without limping!!!
DeleteWe love Medicare--congratulations on joining the group.
ReplyDeleteMy income is non-existent so I don't even have to file a tax return.
Don't spend that #1.47 all in one place!!!!!!
It probably cost $25 to send me that check!
DeleteYum. More money in your pocket. Sweet dreams tonight, AW <3
ReplyDeleteOhhh, Your poor knee! Medicare's up and running, so let's get you running!
I'll probably never "run" but it would be great to walk without pain. Or walk FAST!
DeleteSweet dreams is not having to be concerned about money ten years from now! And have enough for the grandkids to help with college.
