These budget items are so far
out there in space there is no way for anybody to accurately give
advice on. So let me just say this.
Until the new health care plan
is put into effect or some version of it it will be hard to figure
any type of budget cost. You can go on line and get some quotes from
different companies and then ballpark a cost for you and your family.
That is if you aren't over 65
and on medicare or you will not be covered by a company plan. I've
seen some fulltimers that carry a catastrophic policy only and cover
everything else out of pocket. I think the #1 reason for getting in
shape and staying in good health. So take your vitamins and save
some money along the way.Prescriptions
Again this is different for
everybody. Another great reason for getting in shape and eating
healthy. If I can lower my blood pressure and keep it down, on my
budget I'll save almost $400.00 per year. I'm sure I can find
something to spend that on.
OTC Drugs
Its a fact of life as you get
older you find you have more aches and pains on a daily basis. So
depending on how many pills you take each day will depend on this
budget item. Arthritis rubs, aspirin, vitamins and any others will
all add to the budget.
The bottom line here is:
There's just no way to accurately budget for these line items. All
you can expect to do at this point is to ballpark your figures and
make adjustments as needed each month.
