Money Scavenger Hunt

June 22nd, 2016 at 09:50 pm

Readers may recall that several weeks ago the dog tore her CCL, and we were investigating non-surgical therapy. Alas, she completely tore it and is now one week post surgery. It does seem my checking account could use some surgical enhancement as well. Yes, it's my usual summer money angst, but now that DH has come home from his dad's funeral, we still have the airfare, the tree removal, the French camp, and now the dog surgery on the credit card bill. On top of that, DH had another job scare, but it appears all is well-ish, at least on that front.

So, where to find some cash without moving it from savings? I am indeed on a money scavenger hunt. Yesterday I discovered the ortho bills are being paid from my credit card, not my flex card. Ortho's financial people have NO idea why. So, today I've filed for reimbursement from the flex folks Count that as $500 when it appears. My health insurance promises $200 reimbursement for CSA membership. That's next on my to-do list. A textbook publisher has contacted me about some freelance editing, but that won't pay until October. Hmm. I've got about $200 rattling around in paypal, mostly from Swagbucks. I also have a few items to return. My summer teaching gig that starts next week doesn't pay until August/ September. I'll do what I can now and hope inspiration lands on my head.

    Oy! I get your comment on my post now. Yep, we've got quite a few purchases parked on a 0% card, waiting to pay off until we've cleared up our budget deficit. Every time we get closer, something comes and knocks us back a few steps. Was thinking we'd be caught up by July; now being caught up before Christmas would be better than nothing!

    Our doggie last year tore his acl but we didn't do surgery and it healed okay. Mostly because of age, that sort of surgery would have perhaps done him in. Then come to find out he had lymphoma so between that and chemo it made more sense for chemo. As it stands he can walk still now with weight after resting his leg a long time. And his lymphoma is in remission.
