My husband and I have taken another step toward being all grown up - we bought a home. Actually, we bought our home - the home we have lived in for the last four years. Now, we officially own it. It's a bit weird, and a tad scary - but it feels really good. We have already begun making some changes, and over the next few months we will be doing lots of projects. I'll keep you posted on the transformation!
But, what is F---ed up is that when I was purchasing home owners insurance - the lovely representative on the phone said "any interest in life or other type of insurances?" Hmmm, life insurance? Sounds like a good idea. So, I questioned and to my dismay I found that I cannot get any at this time. Basically, due to having had cancer a now "pre-existing condition," I cannot qualify until I am deemed cancer free for a period of 10 years!!! Now, I am not naive I knew there would be some catch. I knew that having had cancer could make such a process more difficult - but honestly I didn't think it would be impossible. I was expecting a larger fee, or perhaps a five year period needed clear - BUT 10 YEARS! I mean (knock on wood) that will hopefully be a possibility but it sucks just knowing that you cannot protect your loved ones just in case something (again, knock) should happen. I am pretty ticked off by this, and think it's a bunch of BULL!
Thats is my rant for the day, please feel free to join in.
