Someone needs to check their numbers. A little research suggests that 275$/month health insurance premium is really high. A good emergency coverage should be closer to 50$. 60$ for internet? I get mine, high-speed, for half that. 75$ phone bill? That's the average for -smart phones-, basic services should only cost 10$.
And I managed to finish with 1157$ anyways. Clearly low-income people need to learn to be frugal. :)
- shiftpgdn 15y agoI live in Texas and currently pay $780/month for health insurance through my employer. Over 1/4 of the people in the state have no health insurance at all. So no, that number isn't very high.
- mulletbum 15y agoThat would be almost $10k a year. I work for a large manufacturing company and I pay $40/month. You have got to have messed something up there.
- shiftpgdn 15y agoNot at all, though I did leave out that I am insuring myself, my wife our child. This doesn't include the deductible of $10,000 out of pocket per year.
- rick888 15y agoI just bought my own health insurance because I'm self-employed and I'm only paying $80/month. I can pay $150 and have doctor visits/prescriptions mostly covered. You must have had lots of health problems in the past or your are lying about that number.
- shiftpgdn 15y agoI imagine you're a single white male under the age of 30 with no prior health issues. I'm insuring a family (wife & child) as well as myself which drives up the cost. If I were to leave them uninsured then I would pay $0 out of pocket.
