Not Broke

The reality is that I cannot hold out without insurance. The problem is I have no money. To get on my parents’ plan – it would cost an extra 400 dollars a month.

So I did a little shopping. I did most of my comparisons on ehealthinsurance.com, although i did use other sites as well. In the end, I didn’t go with the bare bones one – I went with the 165 dollar a month one. YEAH, I KNOW.

But I need my teeth cleaned. I haven’t done it in YEARS. I’m afraid I have a million cavities. I don’t. But I’m afraid that I do. I also need my wisdom teeth taken out. I also need perscription coverage because I can’t afford to keep paying 60 bucks a month.

So that’s the deal. I have no idea if I’ll be approved. I hope I will.  The problem is that all my previous info was with the university, so I have no idea how they’re going to check on this crap.  Also – I’m dirt poor. I’m afraid they’ll find that out.

Blah.

I’m so tired of not having money.

I woke up this morning to some rather refreshing news.  Yes my financial world is crashing down on me, yes I have bad shopaholic habit to kick, yes I have 30,000+ dollars of student loans and credit card debit.

But now, I also have a $199 Apple gift card! Yay!

I won a contest held by Akatoo.com. It was supposed to be for an Apple iPhone (but the fine print said a $199 voucher). So naturally, I thought it would be an AT&T voucher. But nope! Excitement! It’s for the apple store!

I love Apple. I’m a PC person myself -mostly because I can’t ever afford anything Apple-related. BUT now that I have a gift card I can FINALLY afford to get an iPod!  I would have just gotten the iPhone, but I don’t have AT&T and really – Sprint has given me such a fabulous deal, that I could never break away from them. 

Anyway. 

I’m getting an iPod! I’m so excited. Last week I had to resist at full strength buying an iPod on Ebay. See, microsoft was offering 30% cashback on Ebay-buy-it-now-paypal-purchases. So I thought, well, I’ll never get a better deal than that.

Fortunately I resisted. And a few days later I get this gift card! I’m so excited… now my problem is how to keep it under $200… hmm…
