Yes, that clarifies it a lot! $400/month for 3 people with decent coverage is actually really pretty good.

philskaren – the $800 is for every two months (unfortunately they won’t bill monthly for it) and it is for a family plan (my husband, my son and myself). I shopped through ehealthinsurance.com. I could have went with a cheaper plan with a different company. In the end I ended up going with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of MI because I’ve had that insurance through them many years ago and I’ve had good experiences with them. They also cover delivery which the other plans wouldn’t unless you paid a lot extra and waited two years.

After re-reading it up there, it does sound like $800/month. I’ll have to add a note.

I can’t help but gasp when I read that you pay $800 a month for health insurance. Now I don’t know how big your family is or what kind of conditions/coverage you have, but wow, what a lot of money to spend every month. I’m not even aware if that is a normal monthly premium, actually. I found a great private insurance rate on ehealthinsurance.com or something like that. I am sure you have the best deal you can, but I just wanted to mention it just in case. My husband and I save about 100-200 dollars a month that way instead of going through his company.

BTW, congrats on the networth increase!
