Health insurance with huge monthly premiums, THOU$and$ a month. Plus Co-Pay. Plus annual $Thousand$ in deductions. Our son pays $1K a month for health insurance premiums but said “I can’t afford to actually USE it” He only makes $2500 a month. $1K a month just for monthly premiums. And he NEEDS a better car. But his 2005 chevy cobalt will have to do. He can’t afford a car payment. These kids are adults, frugal, and barely getting by. BEFORE ObamaCare they were doing just fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Health insurance wasn’t cheap but it was AFFORDABLE. Our youngest had health insurance through his college $1K a YEAR, not per month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand all the math, and am sorry that they do not make more money at what ever jobs they have.
I still maintain that choices HAVE to be made.
