        To each their own though, but I know mine is less for my current job and was about equal for my last job and the coverage/deductibles for both employers is/was outstanding.

          So, rather than work, I am now going to the gym for a few hours every morning. I am doing half an hour on the treadmill, hour on the bikes, weights and swimming.

          It beats the crap out of working and I REALLY envy athletes who get paid to do this sort of thing. I feel so much better physically already. Seriously, i can't even imagine getting paid to do this. Pro sports guys have GOT IT MADE

          Afternoons are spent reading...

          Figure I'll do this for 3 months and then take a 12 month contract somewhere.

              Oh yeah, and you may say that UPS sucks but paying $49 a month for health, vision, prescription and dental is pretty damn good.
              The benefits are good but actually doing the work sucks. I couldn't stand being in that hot *** warehouse sorting packages for hours and only getting one 10 minute break in the first hour.

                It really depends on what state you live in. I pay about $90 a month for my health coverage, and it's cheap compared to what some others are paying in Mass.

                  The amounts you guys are talking about for health insurance is not very high.
                  In New York...the amount for the family plan can be downright staggering.
                  Since I'm a member of the Uniform Service of the City of New York for the past 16 years, I haven't had to pay for my health insurance since then...but before that...it was incredibly high /per month.
                  Count yourselves lucky.

                    I have all you guys beat as far as health coverage is concerned. I pay over $500 a month for my wife and I to be covered under our health insurance at my current place of employment. It's absolutely ridiculous. We had a much sweeter deal before this new company came in and bought us. Of course, the old company was CBS, and as you can imagine, they could afford to give us cheaper insurance options.

                      Yeah that makes sense. I figure part of it is where one lives, part is company etc... I know other employees in my current company that work in San Jose; Portland, OR; Austin and other places across the US pay a nice penny for coverage.

                      I'm just happy to pay the little I have to pay! Lets me add more to the 401K, money market and Roth IRA's that I have. Retiring early is the key!

                          From reading some of the remarks in this thread some people need to be reminded that how much you EARN compared to how much it COSTS to live where you are is more important than how much you make.

                          For instance...Bk lives in one of the most expensive places in the country to simply exist. Therefore...a large six figure income might not be as comparable as someone who has less than 2000 dollars in monthly bills and makes 80,000 to 100,000 a year.

                          I have a cousin who graduated from Bama and moved to Washington DC to work for a very presitigous Interior Design Company. Her rent for her 900 square foot apartment is MORE than my mortgage on a 2000 square feet, 3 bedroom home on a golf course.

                          It's all relative.
