I Just Averaged My Paychecks Reply #12 – November 21, 2010, 08:00:45 PM 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. Quote Selected
I Just Averaged My Paychecks Reply #13 – November 21, 2010, 08:41:56 PM 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... Quote Selected

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. Quote Selected
