I went to 2 stores and only bought the things I'd intended to buy (wrapping paper and a sports bra). I did not overspend money

I finally set up payment plans for my mountain of medical bills with the EMS, the trauma surgeons, and the hospital for my recent perforated ulcer surgery. It's only chipping away at the bills, but it's all we can afford, and at least, I am finally paying something on them and not worried about getting collection calls and notices in the mail.
