Like $7 for a family size box of cereal? What??
My only recourse has been to buy as much of my list from Aldi as I can.
Also bitterly and with all the reluctance in my soul I use the apps to “clip” the extra coupons.
Hang in there. 👊🏻

Ending ACA subsidies will be is like shutting down spending for a large portion of the middle class.

Such an important point.
But that ripple of austerity won’t show for some time
Hubs & I can “afford” to pay our $3,218/mo premium b/c we *have* to (cancer and other)
RIP my savings account-holding on until Medicare
FOR SURE discretionary spend will be zero
My heart breaks for those who can’t 💔

That’s so cool! TIL that our earliest sunset, at 4:38, lasts for TEN DAYS 😳
Delaware has to hold on until the 12th for it to start being later.

I’m so sorry. Truly. My hubs lost his decades long health care job recently too to outsourcing. It’s brutal.
A plan can at least help with anxiety. Few are well positioned. Market doesn’t care. Have the hard conversation with your FP. With your time horizon, what is plan if bear market?

I get it. I was probably too conservative earlier, but we are already downshifting now. I’m old 😆
Best thing you can do is have a plan for bad times. In 2008 came, I didn’t sell at all. It was hard. Completely underwater. But that was the plan. So glad I white knuckled it, market came roaring back.

I’ve settled on having more set aside “safe” than he’s comfortable with and less than I am. To be fair, I would have missed much of the run up since April.
Still think a broader understanding of global structural disassembly is being missed when only looking at financial angle. Tight rope.

We have an ACA plan going up from $1886 to $3,285/mo. Yes, each month
It does not have an FSA, it has an HSA.
Also, these cowards. Did they see the same election results I saw

You are so kind! We have done the research. DE sends the most complicated cases for many diseases to either D.C. Baltimore or Philly. Only BXBS plans allow out of state, w/ only this plan or catastrophic plan.
We will make it while others can’t. At least sole props can deduct premiums. 🙏

Up from $1886/mo
Early 60’s and this is the only plan in Southern DE that allows me to see my Oncologist as I try and remain cancer free.
