At 40 bucks a pop it really adds up. But we didn't really want to spring for a snowblower when we moved in here over the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense/page/2#post-2050013 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 22:09:29 +0000 sera_87 2050013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blood thinner meds that the doc says are crazy expensive (but they're the only ones safe to take during pregnancy, unfortunately).

I'm so thankful it was not ectopic and that the doctor was SUPER kind, but, the ER visit was totally unnecessary, in retrospect! So that's frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense/page/2#post-2049964 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 21:24:13 +0000 artsyfartsy 2049964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last month EVERYTHING came out of the woodwork. Car trouble, medical bills, vet bill, medicine for T and for me when we were both sick, and a bunch of other little things. We were zapped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense/page/2#post-2049956 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 21:21:19 +0000 avivoca 2049956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm amending my statement.

There are five units in the building. It was new construction, and the last unit sold a little over two years ago. The management company never received the bill from the sewer company, so we just got a huuuuuuge bill with about three or four years of charges plus interest. So I guess we are all going to get an assessment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense/page/2#post-2046946 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 08:33:22 +0000 alohaorchid 2046946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved so, everything? Our movers cost $400 more than we thought they would, the curtains we got won't work so we need to spend an additional $200 on new ones, in order to get our cable hooked up we had to spend almost $300 to get things set up the way we wanted. It's been never ending this week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense/page/2#post-2046871 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 07:53:38 +0000 Modern Daisy 2046871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently the people who owned our house before us never had a dryer. After buying a new washer/dryer we had to pay $750 for a plumber to drill through our foundation and install a dryer vent. We had no idea it would cost so much or was even necessary so it was not budgeted for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense/page/2#post-2046849 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 07:35:41 +0000 mrs. wagon 2046849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I was a scheduled C-section and my due date was mid February... my mom wanted to do it on Valentine's Day, but it fell on a Saturday and they didn't schedule C-sections on weekends. They offered Friday but it would have been Friday the 13th, so I was born on Thursday the 12th. Weirdly enough that's the way the days fall again this year..!! :heart: :goodluck: </p> <p>@lamariniere: framing IS really expensive!!</p> <p>A vet visit for one of the dogs... it wasn't too bad though. She had a biopsy and it's not cancer, so that made us happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense/page/2#post-2046791 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 04:40:53 +0000 lamariniere 2046791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally a first world problem, but DH bought a piece of art that we had to get framed, and the frame was really pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense#post-2046588 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:58:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2046588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not unexpected but bills after bills coming in from my labor/delivery was nuts! I expected the ballpark figure but it was still shocking to receive so many separate bills and having to pay them all when I have no paycheck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense#post-2046581 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:54:35 +0000 lady grey 2046581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A big vet bill :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-expense#post-2046526 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:27:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2046526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: sounds good.
