About Me:

Bikerjohn

I am a married 48yr old IT consultant with 4 children. 2 live at home, 1 with my ex and one lives in a house I own near Atlanta. I was ok financially until the recession in 2008. I left Atlanta to do a few contracts in the DC area and recently took a long term (hopefully) gig near Tampa. The past few years have been hard; when I work, I get paid very well however there has been some pretty long gaps between contracts. And to be totally honest, I enjoy spending money so I lived beyond my means when the money was coming in. Now that I am getting old enough to think about retirement (not to mention age discrimiation in the IT world), I realize it is time to get my finances in order.

good news

The good news is that the Dr. thinks that it isn't cancer. We still need to get an MRI but he is thinking it's not cancer that it is remains of an old infection or scar tissue from a head injury from her childhood. The bad news is that I am still broke (now $460 broker)

That is excellent news! Fingers crossed that the MRI confirms his guess.

My wife will qualify for health insurance from her company at the end of the month. We are going to get the MRI in Jan. Her insurance does have a high deductable so this will probably be out of pocket. I have her on my insurance also. I will have to find out how insurance coordination works. Timing sucks though as I am losing my job at the end of the month so my insurance will be on cobra. depending on whether or not it will cover the deductable from my wife's insurance will dictate whether or not I get the cobra. On a positive note, I have 2 interviews this week and also I am also a bit more open to taking a a short term contract out of state if she is ok
