So I have money woes again.

This time yes, I can pay regularized monthly bills, it's the outstanding stuff that is causing me a nightmare.

-- $1200 in ER bills (spread thin to $100 per month)
-- $370 in physicians bills
-- $350 NH speeding ticket
-- $20 for my next medical appointment (now that I have insurance

Not sure. The main pieces of advice I get from financial aid types are keep your credited loans as few as possible -- i.e. ask family for money if at all possible, don't build up credit card debt, which are, of course, obvious =/.

Perhaps you can set up a lower monthly payment plan with the hospital for both ER and doctor bills? I've gotten the impressions hospitals mainly *want* their money, not necessarily want it all at once ... ? I don't think there is insurance out there that will retroactively cover a claim, but if you don't mind sounding like a total jackass when you call them, you can find out if that's possible.

Overall, it sounds like there's $700 that you need to get taken care of basically right away. The $1200 and the loans are a monthly budget type of deal, unfortunately. I don't know if you can budget in an extra $100 plus however much your loan payments are gonna be a month with your current salary, but maybe you can find a job that will help you cover that stuff.

Good luck. Let me know how it goes. And *hugs* ... many *hugs*
