10 of 29 34.48%

Tomorrow I need to buy a few groceries, but Monday... oh. Calendar indicates $ will be spent Monday, too, so....

10 of 31, or 32.25% for the month. Bleh.

FSA $ will be spent in October on healthcare. Do I, or do I not, count FSA spending in 'spend' days?

Hmm.

I think not. I didn't count them before, I only count medical spending once the first dollar of non-FSA funds are spent. So... Maybe October will be half decent %-wise.

Our FSA 'year' runs 10/1/2018 - 9/30/2019.

I must have missed something. You said 10 of 31 for September. But there is only 30 days in September, not 31.

Oh buggers. I was already in October in my head :oops:

Well, 10 of 30 is even better. A third! :D

I love the start of a new month - 1 of 2........ 50% :lol:

I don't forsee any spending tomorrow, so 10/3 will be 66%!

Yeeeah. I actually don't forsee any spending 'til Friday but sometimes I fail to foresee because things surprise me, so I won't get all wild with the projections.

Have to go to the state where my boss is. I haven't flown in... we won't get into that, but the thing is Oklahoma driver's licenses don't meet REAL ID requirements and there's no news that I can FIND regarding whether the waiver has been extended past 10/10. Will I be able to get on a plane later in the month, or not? Have to figure that out first.

I would be willing to bet, however, that whatever I'll need, it's going to cost something.
See? I failed to foresee this one 'til just now.
