Ouch! Speaking of dental stuff...I need a root canal & crown right now. I'm trying to hold out till the first of the year because my new dental insurance doesn't kick in until January 1st. That will cut the cost in half for both procedures, and then I can get a few other things done throughout the year. Having said that, I'm not sure I can make it till January. The tooth in question wasn't actually hurting previously, but now it's starting to throb a little here & there, especially noticeable at night & when I drink something cold. Also, I'm having to eat only on one side of my mouth, lol. Hope I make it till January!

$13K for teeth, 1K for cat; always maintain your emergency account.
Red Sox rookie Clarence Blethen thought he looked older and meaner if he took his false teeth out when he pitched. He forgot to put them back in his mouth when he was batting. While sliding into second base to break up a double play, his own teeth bit himself in the butt.
And $1K for cat thyroid surgery.
I'm glad to hear that your cat is still alive. As I recall, he/she is getting pretty old, and you were waiting until your cat passed away before possibly moving.
Cat is 14, is going to live to be 20 just to spite me.

Thinking about TSP in the withdrawal phase gives me a headache. Not many options there. I think they want people to take it elsewhere or annuitize it.
I think the monthly w/d is very good. keep in mind that is considered "full" w/d; that is, the only other thing (other than change amt every yr) you can do is withdraw from the plan

Yep, monthly withdrawals adjusted once a year works fine for me.
Have you talked it over with the dentist or his insurance biller? ISTM that right now is a pretty quiet time of the year, but after the holidays a huge number of people will be visiting the dentist to review their behavior and start their New Year's resolutions. Maybe the dentist would rather see you while there's free time, than to see you next year when he's potentially tired & grumpy.Ouch! Speaking of dental stuff...I need a root canal & crown right now.
