    FSA for Gym Membership

    I apologize if this has already been asked before--I searched but nothing relevant resulted. Has anyone had any luck getting your doctor to write a prescription for a gym membership as medically necessary for weight loss (or cholesterol or whatever) and then using your FSA to fund it? I am...

    Anybody regret the college degree concentration they received?

    I got a BS in Chemical Engineering with Math minor. Thankfully its been good to me so far (although Im getting close to wanting a career change I think). I got an MBA that Im not sure of the value right now--Im hoping that it will pay for itself later in my career.
