1. FWIW, any cost of living would have been eaten by an increased Medicare deductible.

I am so sorry you do not live in a state with a homestead exemption law that lets you be exempt from property taxes.

Is there any way you can shop for lower house and car insurance? Do you have both with the same company?
Our insurance company threatened to drop us unless we put on a new roof. We knew we would have to replace it in a few years,
but they gave us 6 months...huge hole in our emergency stash fund.

Quite honestly I could not afford a vet bill that large myself, and would have a hard decision to make on our elderly fur babies.
