I realized this month, I haven't been using my budget. Money in, money out, autopay, etc.
There's a reason. In April, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. And all things came to a halt. Thank gosh for auto pay.
I cashrolled all my medical bills since March, so even had to pay cash for 2 CT scans because my I insurance denied them. 10k so far.
I have two chemos left, then surgery and radiation. Some of the radiation may spill into 2024... so it will cost me $50 a day for a few weeks.
Good news: My latest mammo and ultrasound show no evidence of disease! The chemo worked!!
So, I rebuilt my budget for Q4. Student loans start up next month. My bill went fom $614 to $976. No idea why. So, I won't be able to pay as much extra to the mortgage now. But I'll figure it all out. Just glad to be refocused! And so thankfully I had that extra savings account I had been socking money into. I would have hated to put cancer treatment on a credit card!

The reason why yur student loan repayments suddenly shot up is because the pause on federal student loan repayments, which was suspended for 3 years during the worst of covid, will restart beginning with your Oct 1 repayment.Alas, all good things must end.
