[quote]i dont think your doing too bad steve. you might not be getting rich but its not bad anyway. the cost of health ins is no joke either. we get ours through my wife’s job. she is the office manager so its her job to take care of that for everyone and every year the cost just goes up and up. last time i checked for us being on the family plan was over $1200 a month. that alone is worth about 10 a hour.[/quote]wow $1200 per month for family health cover thats astounding, $1200 is more than a months wage for someone here on minimum wage.[/quote]
Welcome to the United States Jim.
The average family health plan costs around $13500 a year here and goes up every year…
Once you start to add up your benefits, that costs about $7-$10 an hour. You’re really not getting paid all that bad.Like they said, one option would be to drop you works insurance, get paid the extra. And try to find a cheaper Personal insurance plan. But you probably wouldn’t get too far.
(But it is free to get some quotes on health insurance. So it might be worth looking into.)
And yes, that is also more than any person on minimum wage can afford here to.
ha, since the post a couple months ago ours went up to $1380 a month. me, my wife and 2 kids.
