Losing the FSA bet...
I was worried that since we barely had enough medical expenses to cover the amount I set aside for the Flexible Spending Account in 2005.
I just collected our receipts for prescriptions and insurance claim forms with patient amounts due. I hadn't even gotten to the dental receipts yet.
I'm already over the allocation I made for this year by nearly double! Since we used the debit card until we ran up to the set-aside amount, I knew we had gotten there. For all the work of collecting this stuff, I'm going to get a check for $1.62, as that's what is left "disbursable" on the account. On the plus side, this is completely off my plate now, and I won't have to worry about frantically collecting receipts before the "use it or lose it" deadline in March.
For compeleteness, I filed the Dependent Care Spending Account reimbursement, too, so we should get that money back soon, too.
