I Just Averaged My Paychecks

over the past two months ...

I work an average of 60 hours a week and only take home an average of $8.60/hr ...plus all of the garbage that goes along with it, I'm beginning to think I need to get into something else, fast

Wow,that truly sucks. It costs a lot to live these days. Everything keeps going up in cost,but wages are going nowhere. It's hard for the working man (and women).

What sucks is realizing that my health insurance costs me $2.88 an hour. Just my health insurance. That doesn't include the dental insurance.

Not an option. Only plan offered by my employer. What are you guys paying? Just out of curiosity?

I pay $54.00 a month for health,dental,and vision through the State of Oklahoma since I'm employed by the State and Veteran's Affairs. You can get insurance from somewhere other than your employer.

I remember paying $400/month for me and my son about 4 years ago when I was a temp. That sucked! And it was so-so coverage. Got hired full-time a few months later and switched providers (employer provided) and it dropped down to $150/month with pretty good coverage. Then I got married and made my wife put everything under hers (same company/provider). We pay over $200/month for the four of us with a $15 co-pay for most visits.

Scott, that's why I got out of the TC Electronixx thing. Sometimes, when you run the numbers, it makes you wanna puke. Now that I'm working I actually have enough money to pay the bills...

One thing I've learned through the years I have been working is the more money you make, the more money you spend, the more responsibility you take on. Obviously we the working man will never get rich (unless we hit the lottery or find an oil well under the  house lol) working, all we can do is provide for our families the best we can and try to have a little fun along the way.

You have a CDL, correct? I don't know how you feel about being gone through the week, but have you thought about going over the road? My Dad is a company driver for a flatbed company, he makes pretty good money, and is home every weekend on Friday evenings most weeks. Just a thought.
FOXLESS!!
