Rollin' In It

Any of you take advantage of the whole FlexPlan spending with your insurance? If not, this is a program where you can set aside some money pre-tax at the beginning of the year. It has to be used for medical things--which comes in real handy when you have babies at the break-neck pace that we do.

Anyway, at the end of the year they send you a reimbursement check for any money you didn't spend. Being the planners we are, we only take out what we know we will need. So barring anything catastrophic, we get pretty close to the amount we set aside. Need proof? Check out the amount on our reimbursement check:


Yep, you read that correctly . . . 22 cents. Now seriously folks, couldn't they just roll that amount over to next year? The cost of postage was more than the amount of the check. Not to mention check printing and processing costs. Good grief. Michael told me to wait to deposit it until we had another reason to go to the bank. When factoring in gas money, we would actually lose money getting it to the bank for deposit. Hee.

So anyone needing a loan let me know. This new-found money is just burning a hole in my pocket!!
