I wasn’t even thinking of these common-sense money savers.
Although some of these apply mostly to certain ethnic groups, which are the ones who complain the most about lack of funds, I was thinking more about the $800 hair weaves, $2000 rims for your ghettomobile, $1000’s in tattooing projects, $350/month smoking habits, etc. Add to those the $200/month cell phone/data plans, $150/month cable bills, and food waste and you probably located about $800/month that could be “found” to fund savings and (what do you know) health insurance.
Either way, it would help keep costs in line. We all know people who are undecided about some medication or treatment, but get it because "it's covered", then complain about the copayment.
