Fines!
This must be the week of fines. Some we've avoided, some we paid. #1 James had applied to graduate $40. A long story, but he's not graduating until Dec. now. He had to cancel that and reapply the $40. They wouldn't hold it for 2 days while he reapplied. #2 I paid my property taxes online and the company charged me 2.6% which was about $36. I lost that too even though I called twice to tell them I was unaware of this fee. #3 I paid part of a school loan off specifying for it to come out of my savings account. When they tried to get it out of my checking, it was not there and I got a NSF fee of $28. I got this back when I explained the problem. #4 James had a dental appt. on Monday. He had a migraine. He hates the dentist anyway, especially when he already felt horrible. When I called to cancel, they said it would be a $50 fine! Ouch. So, to avoid it, I went in his place even though I was just there 4 months ago. What a good wife I am! $50 is $50 right? So to sum it up: we are down about $76 instead of $154.

I hate when fees or fines sneak up on you!
I hate fines too, well, our has been more of surprise hospital bills from a year ago that we just found out our insurance didn't cover. Yeah, that was a huge $817 that we will be paying off slowly until we have a job. Speaking of job... I know a wonderful dentist (well almost dentist) that James might not be so scared about seeing. I'm sorry he hates the dentist, and that he has migraines.... those suck.
It's a good thing you're so on top of your finances - nothing's gonna slip past you.
50 dollars to not go to the dentist.. GEEZE!
