There's a specific feeling that comes with opening enrollment paperwork while a bill from last year is still sitting open in another tab. It's not panic, exactly. More like a low hum in the background of everything else you're trying to get done that day.
Maybe it's a hospital bill from an ER visit that happened faster than your savings could keep up with. Maybe it's a smaller one that's just been easier to ignore than deal with. Either way, it's still there, quietly competing for your attention right when you're supposed to be thinking clearly about next year's coverage.
If that's where you are right now, it's a normal place to be. And it's not the only financial thing you're allowed to put off dealing with alone this month.
