The Weight of Money

The year is ending – make sure you’re going to use up all the funds in your FSA (Flexible Spending Account).
I collected receipts and made a dental appointment for the partner to make sure that we’ll use all the funds. Thankfully, I found a receipt for contacts ($74) that was going to be the largest chunk of the claim. Also, I recently restarted two maintenance meds and that provides $32/month expense that we can claim.
Don’t let the year pass by without using the funds. If you have a lot of funds left and no necessary medical treatment in sight, try some of these suggestions:

• schedule dental appointments
• schedule general checkups
• buy next year’s supply of pain and cold relief OTC medications
• purchase extra disposable contacts
• stock up on OTC contraceptives or pregnancy tests

If you’re planning to schedule appointments, do it now. End of the year slots fill up quick.
