Sean and I haven’t been bringing in enough money where we’re sure that we can stand on our own two feet. Sure, both of us pull at least 8 hour days but that doesn’t mean the average of $1200 a month coming in from both of us is really getting anywhere. As far as bills are concerned I’m losing about $500 a month. So that only really leaves $700 a month to be put towards rent, food and then utilities depending on where we end up. He also has about $300 a month going out in bills which leaves him with about $800. There’s no chance in hell that it’s possible to live with an active savings account at this point in time. So we’ve been looking into other routes.
With my ability to legally drive in Delaware, I’ve been searching for a few different jobs in the area so I can work out of the house and get myself the oh-so-important medical benefits that I so desperately need. If I’m unable to find that, I’m still surfing around sites that offer the ability to search for different Traditional Healthcare Options just so I can get my foot in the door with any doctors office I choose. For a while I was just considering Medicare and paring it off with a newer company called value dental where for about $10 a month you’re fully covered when it comes to dental work. I’m so tempted to move to Canada or France at this point, just for the sake of having free health care and knocking it out of my “to do” list, you know?
I’m waiting patiently for a list to show up from the site I listed above, supposedly they’ve matched me up with a few different companies here and there. I did actually find one of interest for $95 a month. It’s Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware. Dental and “female” specialists are included, which is more than great for me. I’ll have to make it a point to save the site onto my laptop when I can get back on it.
The thing I like about this particular site (advantagemedicalquotes.com) is the ability to view all of my options, which is great for someone who is Self Employed, that was one of the first links I saw on the site so I could read into it. I do believe I’ll be going through BCBSDE but we’ll have to see.
I’ll admit, I’ve also been looking through Family Insurance Policies as well, Sean doesn’t have insurance and I know that since we have been speaking about marriage that a lot of things are going to have to merge at some point in time and having health insurance for someone who is in need of some serious medical attention (no matter how stubborn he is) is just a good idea.
