Like all the people else I know, my expenses have entirely shot up in price over the past 12 weeks.
It took me years to come up with my budget where I’d be stuck over spending, as well as hastily I had to slash that budget even further.
While I have medical insurance, the co-pays to see a single of my medical professionals is entirely high until I meet my out-of-pocket insurance deductible. Usually that means a $100 fee just for a yearly checkup at the medical professional to keep getting my prescriptions filled. Since I take a handful of odd prescription medications around the clock, I have to keep a medical professional on file to fill all of those prescriptions. By law, the medical professional has to see me at least once a year to keep filling my prescriptions every week like I need. Unfortunately, there are similar rules with my medical cannabis medical professional. The state here forces medical cannabis physicians to see their patients twice a year, as well as most of them charge about $150 for renewal appointments. In addition to the $300 I spend my money every year just to see the medical marijuana medical professional, I also have to spend my money $75 once a year to the state itself to renew the medical marijuana ID card that the Department of Health troubles to me. They use the same ID information from the state DMV, including the same photo as well as everything. Thankfully there are medical cannabis dispensaries that offer card renewal discounts where they give you the $75 back in savings on products from their retail stores. Since my live rosin products are extravagant to begin with, this is a good way to afford them.
