My brother works for a repair company and
can get us a very nice place for $800 a
month (1 bedroom) which is $125 less than
we pay now plus the place is sooooo much
nicer. Now we just have to find someone
to replace us at our current apartment. I
already posted on craigslist for our area
so hopefully it goes soon.
On a lesser note. I just got word that I
will be losing medi-cal, my government
insurance, at the end of the month. It
wasn't helpful to begin with since it only
paid for things after I spent $850 out of
pocket for the month but at least it was
something in case of an expensive
emergency situation. Grrr.

In the event of an expensive emergency
situation, please talk to your doctor's
office and/or the hospital that you use.
They often cut bills down a great deal for
cash payers (even if you make payments)
and, in the event of huge hospital bills,
they can make them way more affordable.
When my daughter and I didn't have
insurance, we paid cash at our doctor's
office and we paid LESS than what the
doctor's office charged if we would have
had insurance.
Hospitals will let you make payments.
Anyone who tells you they have medical
bills in collections is silly. You
shouldn't wait that long because at that
point the hospital/doctors offices cannot
work with you financially to lower your
bills and make payment arrangements.
Good luck finding someone for your
apartment!

I know. My current gyno charges 200 for a
visit and it is crazy but I have to go do
dysplasia. I refuse to not take care of
myself because of money especially now.

Specialty doctors do cost more. Will they
work with you on payments, etc?

Not really. I have to go though and I
would rather be with a person who knows my
history even if it costs more.

I just hope we get to move. This place is
so much nice than ours with more square
footage and a porch (which we do not have
now).
