was told I had to take 2 weeks off from work but honest to pete, I did not think the physician had performed the surgery. I had not 1 minute of pain, nothing. I had the vaginal route and could have returned to work without any problems the next day. Knowing my work ethics, my supv said no work for the 2 weeks.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! (NM)

I am sorry to hear about your house. I hope that you can somehow make a financial recovery.
Actually, it was usually co-workers or friends that I would hear boast about their refunds, and none of them were on public assistance (that I knew of anyway).

As an aside, I am a single parent who gets to claim the EIC. I am the sole support for my daughter so every penny counts. I guess I do not consider stressful to keep money in savings. For me, it alleviates stress to have that safety net there for emergency expenditures or unforeseen events. I also take advantage of all the pre-tax contributions I can claim in the form of IRAs, an HSA, and my little one's 529 account. I guess it is just a different way of looking at things.
