[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1152727, member: 43436"] I turned 30 earlier this year, and I've been a Preloader since I was 17. Assuming I work a similar number of hours this peak vs. last - but adjusting for one less week - I'm on pace to earn about $27,000. Six weeks of driver helping will earn me another $2,000 to $2,500, bringing my annual total to $29,000 to $29,500. My brother has a B.S. in computer support and earns $43,000, working twice the number of hours that I do. He pays $4,100 for his family's PPO insurance option. We both have a rare blood disorder that requires daily medication. I pay nothing. He pays $90 each month. He also pays significantly more each time he visits the doctor. And like nearly a third of Americans, he has no dental insurance, thus paying for dental care for his family out of his pocket. Conservatively, I will consider the total value of my health care package to be a $7,000 savings vs. his, although the number's higher (he does not go to the dentist twice annually, or get an eye exam annually, since it's not covered). Thus, he earns little more than $6,000 more annually than I do - working twice the number of hours, despite having the most in demand degree. Please tell me once again how I'm a loser. And please tell me who you really are, since you've managed to move from Dallas to California overnight. [/QUOTE]
