Your post hit the nail on the head!!!
This year, Hubby and I are looking at over 10k out of pocket for medical bills. I have no idea where we will get that, but once that is paid, then we'll be lucky. For us, insurance then pays 100% for the rest of this year.
It will take us years to pay this year's medical bills off, and hopefully, Hubby will be able to still work by the end of this year. We are 61 sooooo and his company is restructuring.
scary. All of it is just scary.
But that is when you have to look for the little everyday things that make you smile or laugh. Easier said than done. I found myself turning into a very grumpy old lady this year, and have been actively trying to turn that back around. It hasn't been easy cuz the sky keeps falling here but we still have free will on how we deal with what is thrown at us.
