2. I see the price of medical care every time the calendar turns to a new year

and I have to make that stupid deductible all over again. Then the other half of the year I save up for property taxes. I know I'm lucky to have a house, but it seems like the bills never stop. And we just got notices that our utilities are increasing their rates by double digits this year. Perfect!
