I have been offered a job which I really want to take...it involves moving to a location I really want to be, and a significant pay raise.
However, the company I would be going to work for offers no medical insurance. With the pay raise, I would still come out ahead (I think) but I would need to purchase my own medical (and dental) insurance.
I have a wife and 3 kids, so we are looking at purchasing insurance for a family of 5. My wife looked up some quotes online and came up with a cost of about $6K to $9K per year.
We didn't look up anything about dental insurance yet.
Does anyone here purchase their own medical/dental insurance, and have any advice or insight? Does the $6K to $9K per year sound about right?
At my current company, about $5K/year is taken out of my paycheck for medical insurance, and the insurance is not the best.
If it matters, we would be moving from IL to Florida.
Thanks for any info you may have.
