My task for this month is to pick new health insurance. My current insurance, which I pay entirely out of pocket, has decided to go up by 43% next year.
Now that it is open season I am going to look into new plans and see what is available. Any tips on what I should be looking for, considering this is what I'll have for TTC and (hopefully) pregnancy/delivery/baby, etc.?
I don't like to get overly political, but I really, really hope the next president doesn't make things worse healthcare-wise. That's another thing I'll be doing this November - voting, and hoping the rest of America isn't really as stupid as it sometimes seems to be.
This month I also plan to implement an exercise routine. The only exercise I seem to get is walking up and down stairs at work, which really doesn't help much. I need to work on strengthening my back, my knees, and my core, plus work on my posture and general endurance. Most of all, I need to get rid of my muffin top!
I no longer have a gym membership, so this will all have to be done at home. I'm hoping the motivation of watching TV or listening to music while I work out will be enough to get me through because I really want to be in shape before I even attempt TTC.
As for my October to-do (Work on getting my own place): I still have not gotten in touch with a realtor, so I've only seen the one condo I talked about last time. (It was in the basement and too dungeon-y for me).
I have the information for the realtor my parents used and I hope to, at least, email her soon. I just keep delaying it out of fear. Fear of the unknown, since I've never bought a house before. Fear of regret if I buy a place I end up hating. And fear of depleting my savings, then really needing that money down the road. As you can see, lots of fear to work through, hence my procrastination. Plus, there aren't a lot of houses currently available in my price range.
P.S. I'm slowly catching up on everyone's blogs. I took a break from reading them when I went on hiatus so there's a lot of posts to read through.
