The EF deposit puts us at only needing $6,241.21 to hit our goal of 6 month's expenses. I'd like to make that by the end of the year, but who knows? It really depends on overtime. But that was the choice we made when we decided to put 15% into retirement now instead of after the EF was funded to 6 months.
One good note is we have hit our out of pocket max on medical for the family so my colonoscopy/endoscopy, which was rescheduled to Monday, will be free. And we still have $635.25 in our FSA which can go towards DD's glasses or dental. I have $600 in the Medical Fund, too, and will continue to save for that towards next year's deductible and out of pocket max.
DS is going to need braces, but with what he has, he can do Invisalign or the like, which will be cheaper. Not that anything is cheap when it comes to orthodontics. After DD has her lumbar puncture on the 7th, I will look into getting a consult. We will also be able to get our Covid vaccines after the 7th. We'll be getting the Moderna one, even though it throws you down the stairs on the second dose if you have an overactive immune system and sometimes if you don't. After doing my research, I still feel it is the best of the ones available for someone with autoimmune diseases.
