(7,670 posts)give or take. Whether I can make 7 grand before the end of the year is unlikely.
I think I'm going to end up making less this year, mostly because of some...difficulties in January and February that caused me to miss quite a bit of work, which would drastically affect my pay. Not to mention last year I had damn near perfect attendance, and worked a bit of overtime.
But honestly, what I do know is that I can't afford what work offers now without some type of assistance, their contribution simply isn't enough. Not to mention cost sharing, particularly since next year I'm going to be marrying someone with chronic health issues, and even with my work insurance, paying at least 10 dollars per prescription a month will be over 100 dollars, on top of premiums for us to pay, and that's the minimum. If we get married that is, right now she's on Medicaid, if we get married, she may get kicked off it, so we may end up delaying it, we don't know yet.
