[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's our rough budget -- I don't have it here at work, but they are rough numbers.

car loans	575
credit cards	350
529s	400
savings	250
gas	300
groceries	1000
medical OOP (Rxs and therapy)	450
mortgage	3350
student loans	1000
utilities	300
internet	250

We have health/dental insurance from FEHB and vision through my wife's employer.

(She has about $300K in her employer's 401k and a pension plan.)[/quote]

Why is internet $250? Does that include cable / phones? [/quote]

That still doesn't make sense. The only plans I can even find on the fios website that are that high are business plans where you need to have lots of people accessing the internet simultaneously. I work from home several days a week and have been just fine with my regular old internet service.

Given the high out of pocket medical costs, I hope you do a health care FSA. I would also be seriously looking at different plan coverages to see if there's one that's a better fit for the Rx or offers some reimbursement for out-of network therapy.
