The Universe knows when you have a dollar...
A long time ago I was out walking the dogs with a great friend and we were generally venting about events in our respective days. At some point the conversation turned to things going sour financially. She looked at me and said, "the Universe knows when you have a dollar... and it will do its darnedest to take it from you." We've joked a lot about it since, but there's no doubt it's true.

Last month brought some good news, and a net savings to the household of $300 a month. Sweet! I did the responsible thing and modified my direct deposit to divert those dollars directly to savings. I smiled and thought, "I'm on the right path!"

This week brings the benefits open enrollment paperwork. Guess what happens next month? My health insurance cost goes up almost $225. Grrr.

"Thanks, Universe! Roll Eyes Ya fargin' bastige."




God bless America.

I hear you, brother. Let me know when you’re ready to cash in the No.1 in 270 Win. Smile

I’d look at it as a net positive. You have enough left over for a Happy Meal.

I'm going to go hang a paper tag on it, with your name, just in case. Wink

I suppose that could even be called a bonus -- because a Happy Meal just doesn't sound too appetizing. Big Grin

Maybe I could go get ice cream instead... Smile

As long as you don’t want a half gallon, you should be good to go. Shrinkflation. Big Grin
