where can you get internet for 30 bucks a month? Haircuts actually arent all that bad- if you have multiple people in your family. My brother cuts and colors mine when he visits otherwise it would be $75min for me every 3-4 months just for a cut. My DH costs $50 every 6-8 weeks. My son is $30 every 6-8 weeks. Thats an average of 70-80/mo over the year.

Does FSA/HSA in your case not make sense OP? We put the max in every year and use it. I pay for vision and dental OOP for all of us because the premiums are more than paying cash with the plans we are offered. All Rxs and copays are pretty much covered and we both have chronic conditions being managed. [/quote]
