December 11, 2013

So Lindsey refused the subsidy.. WHY was he qualified for one?

I keep hearing how he signed up for ACA, but refused the subsidy..

December 4, 2013

FYI.. @50K per year= $25 hr...GROSS

a 40 hr workweek w/ 2-wks UNPaid vacation is 2K hours

that salary some places would be plenty, but now add a spouse and a few kids, and tack on student loan costs, car payments, rent, food, health insurance, car insurance, utilities, taxes withheld. etc...

even if 50k seems great (for some areas), it probably does not allow for much, if any, savings for the future.

Spouses usually work too,m but then we have to also add childcare, costs of second commuting vehicle, and fast foods instead of meals prepped at home..and the schedules often do not mesh, so we may need to factor in a divorce lawyer or two..

I used the unpaid 2 weeks, because some companies are offering unpaid leave, and paid vacations..not so much... or at least for the first 3-5 years.
......................................................................................................
18K for the same hours = $9 hr Gross

of course, people who make $18k a year only WISH they could get 40 hours a week,
.............................................
30K = $15hr gross

No matter the gross amounts bandied about by pols, we all have to live on the net..
