Sing this with me, this is called "401k"...

Birds & Bills:

Last Friday I made an appointment with a new doctor for my annual physical. I already knew this doctor, who came recommended, didn't take my insurance; I'd decided I'd rather pay out of pocket (well, out of my HSA) for a recommended physician than take a stab in the dark at my insurer's in-network directory. So it didn't surprise me when the doctor said she doesn't take my insurance (I already knew that from her website). What surprised me is when she said she could only fit me in because I'm not paying with any insurance.

Single Ma:

Ok, let me get this straight. I'm not invited to your wedding OR reception. But you send me an invite to your "informal" cookout that will take place AFTER you are married and honeymooned. Hmph, talk about bottom of the food chain! *roll eyes* Did you really think I would RSVP or even glance at the "registry cards" you so nicely slipped into the envelope? Da fugg I look like?!?

Money, Matter and More Musings:

Got a letter yesterday from Citibank in the mail with the subject "Notice of Change in Terms and Right to Opt Out". The letter informs that the maximum transaction fee limit for balance transfers on Citibank credit cards will be removed effective April 3rd.
