So I'm on a new plan...

[nockergeek]

Previous insurance deductions per month: $30.
Current insurance deductions per month: $419.88

Yes, it hurts, it hurts. It makes with the burning. Now, granted, we get a lot more coverage... a good dental plan, $100K life insurance for me, $50K life insurance for Z, and (most importantly) medical coverage for Z (which is the lion's share of the new amount -- $319.38 a month). Also, those deductions are pre-tax now, so in reality, it ends up being effectively somewhere around $300.

Still, though, nothing like a 1000% increase in deductions from my paychecks. Time to start shopping at Aldi's and/or sell that kidney I'm not using.

*shrugs* It's really not so bad. It's a lot of coverage, and considering that Z's been without health insurance for the past 8 or 9 years, it's worth it to get her covered.

In case you didn't get that lovely automated call last night, your copy of Tales of Symphonia (and it's freebies that you get for preordering) has arrived.

Awesome. Not that we'll have much money for it, but awesome all the same. ^_^
