Angry ginger Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 for shits and giggles I pulled last years paystub from March 31 for an apples to apples comparison as thats just salary not comm end of month- taxes went down by $51, benefit cost went up by $95. Sure end of the year theres a tax benefit but it's no panacea for the average person whose paying for their benefits which is more of america than those who get 100% of their bennied paid for. Very few people did not see an insurance cost increase this year. I went with a higher deduc and HSA hoping in the long run to be back to last years cost and carry some of that HSA into 2019.

They’ll take care of that need for you. It’s just paradise in those places. Well, it's hypocrites that support raising taxes, yet they move away from states like that TO GET OUT of paying those taxes. Right mc?

Unfortunately the last 10 have not been that easy to save like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the last 10 have not been that easy to save like that. Been vehicle hunting, so driving through a lot of dealer lots. I'd say at least half the new trucks and SUV's on the lot were Denali's or just a step down. Guess when you look at it as how much per month, a new Denali isn't so bad.

Not a single trump hater will answer these questions. Take a good look at all the liberal policies that are not panning out like they hoped...and any questions regarding said policies get ignored.

XCR1250 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Wife never looks at her pay from Walmart which is directly deposited so I had her look on-line at her bank statements today, hers went up slightly over $85.. She only works 32 hrs. per week per her choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil exports, the bankruptcies from medical bills, the tax cuts. They all ignore it like the plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
