The upside to such a system is that I have learned that both medical and childcare is still tax deductible, if you dont' FSA it. You just have to wait longer to get the money back. But it does come back in one nice big lump.

GOOD ONE! I had forgotten. Now to make files so I will remember to collect receipts!

At LAST!!! They Will Be Mine… All Mine!!!

I don't know about your day care person, but ours does one receipt at the end of the year. But the medical deductions are trickier because there is a minimum amount you have to deduct. Childcare might have a cap. I wish I could remember all the rules.

In my class room, there is a white holiday tree with blue lights and black, silver and blue bulbs (our school colors are like a bruise - black and blue).

We are so going to kick ass on the door decorating contest tomorrow.

My childcare does a receipt everytime I pay and I can pay weekly monthly or in chunks, so receipts can get lost if I am not organized.

I'll look it up. I wonder if elective stuff is covered. If so, I bet I can hit it provided I can schedule the mole removal stuff I want.

Hope you're feeling better quickly, Hec!

msbelle, I believe so. OTC drugs are technically tax deductible.

Oh man, I have to go to the bathroom yet I just gave my kids a test and they are working on it. While my life is all bells and schedules my bladder is not.

Happy birthday, Typo!

I'm sorry about the sick Hec, and msbelle, sorry about the FSA crap. I was going to echo what Kat said about the tax deductibles.

Good luck to both Plei and Burrell, variously! I hope you both have less pain than you fear....
