At long last Kent is a full time employee! Health benefits didn't start until Feb. 1, but at least he has them. Of course his pay check is 75 bucks smaller per week, but this is why I applied for my SSA benefits now instead of in 4 yrs. We need them NOW. Have to be able to afford to pay the doctor when we visit him, even with insurance, and have to be able to afford to pay for the scripts we get from the doctor. At least now we don't have to worry about 100% of ER costs coming out of our pockets.
He also has life insurance on the both of us. Enough to pay for a funeral if we go that route, but we are both pretty sure we want to be cremated. No viewing. Graveside service only. Save as much money as we can for which ever of us is left alive. Or Becky, Courtney, and Tabby if we both die at the same time.
He is entitled to 5 maroon t-shirts as a full timer, but the store is out of them. Go figure. But 5 verses 3 is an improvement. Now we'll increase his work jeans so I don't have to do laundry every other day.
He just ordered his work safety glasses, and he is thrilled with that. We popped for regular glasses back in Dec. so he will be all set up with glasses. Now I can make an appt. for me to get updated lenses for my glasses!
We just filed our federal income tax and are expecting a nice refund back this year, the best once since 2009 tax year. Still owe on state tax, but the lowest amount yet. Will use the fed refund to pay for the state, if necessary, or SSA money if we wait until Apr. 15.
Will be so nice with SSA money to be able to pay all bills on time, to catch up on all the past dues in other areas, to get the Springfield loan paid off and titles back. To get the RV fixed and usable again to save on motel costs. To have a place to live in if we have to evacuate the house, a place to have the cats with us in such an evacuation.
