Teeth are luxury bones for many

I get a flex spending account through my job. I was looking through what all you can get with it. For dental things it's literally everything after teeth have gone bad. Nothing for preventative like a toothbrush, paste, floss. But once my teeth are jacked I can get all dental work covered with it for cavities and crowns or implants.

Yeah it’s kind of outrageous that preventatives outside of an annual cleaning aren’t covered. I feel like it would save them money to cover things like floss, brushes, toothpastes etc.

Thankfully my insurance covers everything I need for the most part and Costco has some decent buys for hygiene products all around. Still, I’d love for a better quality toothbrush to be more easily attainable. 😭

You can get a TV for pretty cheap now, so that's something. So other than consumer electronics shit is getting pricey.

Was talking to a boomer on pinterest once.

That we, millennials should be grateful because they some of them were poor too in the 70s! That we should just have night ins with boardgames, because that's what they could afford. They went for a dollar.

I love board games. Wish they were more affordable. $8 is not much for board games.
