Irony? I think so.....

So my health insurance has a little incentive program where you show up and get your heart rate checked, weight, cholsterol and a few other tests, give you $50 just to show up, if you pass the tests to their standards (which I think I should) you get another $50....so $100 probably to be spent on cigars....paid by the insurance company....ironic?

I recently got a $25 gift card from our employee recognition thing that I used to buy a blood pressure machine.

Because you make 120K

We have a set up like this at my work - but they put it into your HSA so it is restricted to being spent on health care related items. Not nearly as fun!

I would argue that cigars are for Mental Health

kelmac07 · 04-17-2012, 05:56 PM

So...did you pass??

never_enough · 04-17-2012, 06:23 PM

Awesome. Free money is never bad.

fencefixer · 04-17-2012, 06:48 PM

Realy irony is when you're on welfare and have 2 kids... then use welfare money for fertility treatment to get 8 more kids and because you now have 10 kids you can't work therefor you need welfare.

Oh wait, that's a true story.

EricF · 04-17-2012, 06:49 PM

Sweet deal!!!

maninblack · 04-17-2012, 08:15 PM
