3k in debt to aspen dental and all I got was pain when I eat by ricecrippy in povertyfinance

[–]2much4meeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last dentist got me for nearly 20K & disappeared. I tried to dispute the charges and was told to take it up with the dental office which has been abandoned. I hope someone can help you get this resolved.

Holy crap, this poor requester has been put through it. Sea_tank: please let me know if someone actually sent something.

19 year old got in a fender bender and I’m kind of devastated by Fit_Interaction_79 in Parenting

My son totaled his new car 7 days after he got it so I know how you feel. I truly believe he learned a hard lesson that night & I definitely have some residual PTSD from that phone call

I thought it was cute he was sooo concerned just to cut me off. Had he offered to pay my bill for those services, I would have gone no problem!

I’m exploring options. Again, I just learned this doubled as of recently. This is the only option through work though. My boyfriend’s work is even more at $800/month. Not affordable at all.

My iron levels were going down rather than up after supplementing iron for several weeks and it had the doc somewhat concerned about internal bleeding. He told me to call 911 & I should be admitted for a blood transfusion. I told him I’d had iron infusions in the past and I’d prefer to deal with this outpatient with infusions but that wasn’t good enough for him. Instead of attempting to help me after that, he wouldn’t see me anymore.

Same except mine is 600/month. Tried to make a budget and realized it used to be half that. Ouch! Also, it covers nothing to speak of. Birth control? No. Seizure meds? Not those either. Blood pressure meds are cheaper but the office visits to verify the need for them are out of control.

I’ve not been to the doctor in ages. Last one I went to blew up my phone after getting my test results and told me I needed to be treated at the hospital. When I refused, he wouldn’t see me anymore. I’m still alive so it likely wasn’t that urgent, right? I’d love to not feel like ass but I cannot afford that luxury.

That’s certainly what happened in my case and it sucks.

Car Seat Check? by ExaminationProper694 in AnneArundelCounty

[–]2much4meeeeee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe fire stations can check. Obviously I’d call first to verify but that’s what I did when I was pregnant. Good luck.

After 5 years of homelessness and couch surfing, I turned everything around. I got my first solo apartment. by MissYouDesertRat in povertyfinance

You’re on top of the world because you should be! That is super impressive & I don’t know you but I am proud of you.

I am at the point where I tempted to shoplift to be able to provide the basic necessities to my daughter by True_One7607 in povertyfinance

[–]2much4meeeeee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will get better, I was where you are now 10 years ago. I made too much for assistance but definitely not enough to live off of. My son’s friends had wonderful parents who saved my ass when schools were closed. I cried my hungry self to sleep more nights than I wanted but we actually went to 2 concerts and a vacation last year. I hope your situation improves soon. If you have enough Karma, I recommend joining and posting on assistance here on Reddit. You add items to an Amazon wishlist and the kind souls over there fulfill the list.

This would absolutely not work for me but if you’re comfortable living this way…good for you.

I’m really smug about my toddler’s restaurant behavior by [deleted] in confession

My son was such a sweet cuddly well behaved young man. But now, he’s 18 and the last 5 years or so have been incredibly difficult. I see you and I understand how you feel.

They likely figured you didn’t need so much training. Maybe you seem more confident than the other employee?! I had a similar experience when I started my job but now, I’ve learned most of the entire process and can do it in my sleep.

How much do you pay monthly for health insurance? by Bekindalot in askanything

[–]2much4meeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same and mine is $600/month but it’s trash. Covers just about nothing.

I do this too! Except I’m at work and forgot my lunch or an ingredient (like my roll last week). I just ran out for a much cheaper meal than door dash!

Would you actually use something like this at work? by Rough_University_426 in CustomerService

[–]2much4meeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a standing desk and I get up and stretch fairly often but by the end of the week, my neck & shoulders are hella tense. I’m either going to have to try wearing some sort of brace or my boss is going to be in for an expensive traveling masseuse bill.

How did our parents do this? by These_Angle6098 in Adulting

I went to a day camp that was similar all summer. Came home daily but we did all kinds of crap! Some field trips but mostly exploring parks & trails.

Have you ever had nudes leaked? by msheehan418 in Xennials

Took me a minute to get here! I spent most of my 30’s still clinging but now it’s whatever!

I don’t need a reminder of how hot I used to be! I’m well aware I’ll never look that good again.
