Kat,

Since our income pretty much matches outgo, were not able to put too
much into a flex account.  Our flex is als funded through payroll
deduction, but the biggest problem is that it doesn't "roll-over" from
year to year.  We use what we can afford to contribute on an annual
basis anyway.  The chair I need is $38K, and if insurance won't cover
it, I can't afford the payment to finance it.  That would be the same
as a really nice car payment.  I know I could deduct it and get a tax
refund to pay for most of it, but the original capital outlay is
prohibitive.
