So I had Aflac for my kids dental but I didn’t realize my husband I guess canceled or didn’t renew our policy, anyways after a few apts I got an invoice about dental bills, turns out I owe my kids dentist 2k. I didnt pay it yet because it’s just not on my short list of things to worry about lol, so fast forward a few weeks and boom I see my kids dentist at the gym, she owns the whole dental place btw it’s like her private practice or whatever, and I say hi and then lately every time I see her we end up chatting, i already told her I recognize her from her work and whatever but eventually after a few months and maybe some flattery and chumminess I think im going to tell her I have this outstanding bill and just see if she waives it 😅 also, not that I really need to add this but I could pay it outright right now, I just really don’t want to detract from my savings, I have a strict savings plan and my husband and I arent like brutally suffering but we’re def NOT well off. Every time I establish some savings it’s like disaster strikes, someone’s car goes out, random medical crap, etc. so I’m always anxious to touch it.

Also, I would be chatty with anyone who’s kind to me in the gym, I have lots of little chatty partners here because half the time I come it’s just to have a break from my kids not to workout 😂 but I’d be lying if I said I don’t approach her with this plan in the back of my mind, especially because I know she’s maga and I’m just really never interested in being buddy buddy with that type of person under normal circumstances lol

2k!? How could they let you rack that up and not say like “hey, do you have insurance we should be running?” Followed by an “oh yeah, that old insurance card you gave me isn’t going through.”
