What might be making me a tad apprehensive, but might not, as it's too soon to tell?
My finger. I injured it almost a month ago. The index finger on my dominant hand doesn't move away from the middle finger with any strength at all. I overtaxed it during a night of rope climbing with the Scouts. I spent hours belaying others, and while holding the rope tightly for hours on end, making sure they didn't fall to their deaths, I started to feel a mild burning sensation between my thumb and index finger. That finger hasn't worked right ever since. No numbness at all. All the sensations are there, it just doesn't move in one specific direction. It feels fine though. No pain. I finally got around to seeing a doctor this morning, for a routine physical, and asked him about it. He confirmed that it was fucked up and gave me the names of some specialists. I had switched to a very high deductible insurance plan a year ago to save money on outrageously expensive premiums, and I'm almost certain that this will not be covered by insurance until I meet that $3k deductible. So I'm a tad apprehensive that I might need surgery followed by a long recovery with an immobilized dominant hand, and that it will cost a lot. But it's too soon to tell. |

you're contributing to an HSA though, aren't you? You can spend that money on the cost of care.

I'm apprehensive because a year long goal is coming down to the wire.
I aimed to hit $1million in gross profit across my desk for the year. I'm at $993,493 at this moment with maybe 10 more deals to go. I average $794 per deal for the year, so IF these last 10 deals are average, I'll hit it. if they are weak (which is more likely for the end of December deals) I may JUST miss it. nothing riding on it other than bragging rights, but I'd hate to come up >< this close and miss it.

when I switched to an HSA, I put the max allowed into it. but not all at once.... I looked at the difference between the HSA plan and the regular plan, and put the difference in each week.
I think the regular weekly premium was $245, and the HSA was $125, so I put $120 per week into the HSA until it hit $6250. Once I had $3000 in there, I felt a lot better. The max out of pocket is $6k...if shit gets really real... But after 2 years of the HSA, I still have over $5k in there. And I had to use the whole $3k deductible this year. anyway. I hope your finger is not ligament damage. or if it is, that it's reparable. sorry about your finger, in other words

Glatt, if the ligament isn't torn then rest and PT may be all you need.
Otherwise, the MRI should easily get you up to 3K. I hope it's the former. With my shoulders, the SOP with the specialist is to give a shot of cortisone and see if that helps, then they gradually ramp up. It's weird that there is no pain. Keep us posted. Oh and you need to update your climbing gear.

looking at the deals that have been delivered, but not booked, I think I have about 996K on the books. There are 5 deals still to deliver. 2 F&I guys. If I can get 3 of the 5...the RIGHT 3... I think I might hit it. One is a 2 car deal with a gut I've done twice before. He buys GAP and I should have some reserve. Count those for maybe $1200 each, and then I need $1800 between whatever else I can get. I may have to go back through and see if there are any deals in the system that I did, but didn't hang my number on.

Hope you make it, but glad the consequences of not making it only damage the ego and not the wallet.
@glatt.. warm and moist.

Jim, perhaps it's time to buy another vehicle, from yourself.
