Sometimes you CAN'T be thrifty

There are times in life when you can't  find a less expensive alternative. I had to deal with this recently when I woke up in the middle of the night to a loud pop in my neck followed by extreme pain. Pain so bad I couldn't get out of bed without assistance.

The fright it gave me was horrible. Having to face the fact that the world wasn't going to stop because I got hurt was daunting. With everyday responsibilities from washing dishes to going to work, which seemed like the hardest thing to do when I could barely turn my head, I knew I had to see a doctor and I had to see one fast. 

Not wanting to see a regular physician because I knew I would just be prescribed pain medication and be told to rest, I went to a chiropractor. Yes, it was expensive, since that type of care usually isn't covered by health insurance, but it was the best money spent that day. 

I would spend all of my money if it meant that I or anyone else I cared about would not be in the pain I was in. 

Because of all of the things that I can get deals on, my health, isn't something I want to be frugal about. 

Until next time,
