Can I afford Wegovy?

But the coupon has expires so the price shot up from $25 a month to $600. HHI is 450k. No debt other than mortgage, which is a $4k monthly payment. Two kids in middle school. $250k in liquid savings, $200k in college savings, and $2 million in retirement. We save an additional $4k/month, so this would come from that. I know we could swing it, but I just feel so bad diverting that much money from savings.

Completely tone-deaf. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Didn't do so great in math in school, did you? Just married rich and have gotten by on your looks...until you didn't?

If I can pay $500/month on my measly $300K HHI and $4800/month PITI, I think you can manage, ya dumb B.

Lolllll. My HHI is not even a full 20% of yours and I’m going to pay the non coupon price for my life changing Wegovy when I have to start.

You sound silly. Maybe your blood sugar is low

fyi, I'm saving $100-$150/month on food/groceries being on a GLP1.

It doesn't cover the cost entirely, but it helps. Especially since I'm staying on a low 5mg dose after 3 months.

Omg - 450K and you're worried about paying for it?!?

[Anonymous]

My current non existent alcohol consumption has paid for it.

Yes you can afford it - and, you can see if you can get your coupon renewed

There are a lot of people struggling to remain on it in much lower financial places than you are. It’s truly a shame that so many insurance plans won’t cover it when there are significant BMI numbers but the person is not quite at the A1C threshold.

No. I am very frugal and just cannot talk myself into spending this much on a medicine.

Can you "talk yourself into spending this much" on your health? You do NOT want obesity.

Yes. You can afford it.
Good luck
