Sometimes when trying to save money you just need to think outside the box! I received a medical bill this past week and the price was a little on the high side. I called in and asked about the bill. I just went ahead and asked if there was anyway they could take some off the bill. She said they would be glad to take 30% off. Now this may not sound like a lot, but 30% saved me over a $100 DOLLARS!! My phone conversion didn't even last 5 minutes!! Wow!! $100 DOLLARS in 5 minutes!! I was tickled pink!! The only thing they wanted me to do was go ahead and pay it all off at one time!
If you have a medical bill just call and ask!! You never know. Most doctor offices/hospital do offer promotions if people ask....even if you had to borrow the money your interest rate would probably be a lot lower than their promotion rate!! Just an idea to think about..... please comment if you can think of other ways to save money!!
