Mikey had a cancer scare. Its benign. I started my period Friday.
I’m maxed out on card #1
I have just enough for man in the can in card #2. Man in the can would max it out.
I have 57$ in savings
I have 3$ in checking.
Mikey is unemployed.
Mikey’s cards are maxed out.
Dad and Mom are unemployed
Mikey’s family are poorer than us.
We’re going around and around thinking about how we’re going to pay for meds and drugs and doc visits. Mind you this isn’t even total out of pocket because we have insurance covering almost all of it. But I’m not sure we can afford the paltry amount (compared to what insurance pays) we have to put out.
I’m willing to walk away for medical reasons or emotional ones but I hate to have to walk away for financial ones.
If I could wait six more months or a year I would but I’m 37 (will be in November). So do we leap and pray we’ll figure it out or just accept that we can’t make this work.
And we have until 7:30 am to figure it out


So glad the scare turned out to be just that – a horrible scare but nothing worse.
I’m a leaper. Not so much with the praying, but a leaper for sure. I dislike regrets more than debts. I find them harder to live with.
I’m just seeing this now……lots of love to you.
I’m in agreement with V&J.
Thinking of you.
hugs to you, sophia. if there is a way to tighten the belt at all, i would also lean towards going for it, so as to not have regrets later. money stuff sucks big balls. xoxo.
