the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[HairOfTheDog]

I just saw the final invoice for my health insurance this year a family plan........17,888.36 thats with a ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ split I pay the 40%

Nearly $40,000 a year is an incredible amount of money.

I only pay for 1 person and decided last year to reduce my coverage to minimum with a high deductible, but maximum catastrophic coverage in case of a terrible accident that could bankrupt me.

I hardly ever go to the doctor and was paying a ton of money for something that I didn't use and would have been cheaper to pay out of pocket, per visit. It was almost a financial necessity for me and I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass. If I had children, it probably wouldn't have been an option.
