New Glasses
Erica and I are showing off our new glasses. The pleasures of being over 40. Actually, I barely need mine (they are for distance), but I had to use up health care spending account money by mid-March.
It really irks me that if you don't use the pre-tax dollars you put away for health care, it just dissapears, poof! Where does it go? It's my money. If I don't use it, I think I should be given the option of paying the tax and getting the money back.
Or if that's not possible, unused dollars (which must total millions) should go into a fund for people who can't afford health care. Perhaps it could be given to Remote Area Medical, an amazing organization I saw profiled on 60 Minutes.
Do you like the diffuse glow effect I found on PhotoShop, which nicely fuzzes out the wrinkles?
Most of the HSAs and MSA plans I've read about do allow rollover into either the next year or into retirement funds. Odd to hear that yours doesn't.

Look at you two...just a pretty as you were 10 (or more) years ago.
I'm afraid I have to wear them too.

I heard that the unused money rolls back to the company you work for - but not to you. At least that's how it works for us. (I work for a community defender organization). I've bought first aid kits, reading glasses, vitamins ... all kinds of healthy things to use of that money in years past.
