My Father-in law can barely walk anymore. He has to walk down to the bus to meet our children every day after school. Medicare turned him down for a scooter. His doctor won’t put in for one. The V.A. says they can’t get him one. We don’t have the money for one. His insurance refuses to pay for one. We have been trying to get one for two years. Trying to GET a scooter for him is harder to deal with than anything else.

How refreshing! Not only is JohnnyMac working to become a better saver, he’s doing it as a selfless act to help his ailing Father-in-Law. His goal is to save for a Medical Scooter over the next 12 months. The total cost will be around $2,200.00. This will require $181.49 per month to reach the goal within the specified time period. What a great savings goal! Now let’s see what we can do to help you meet it!
