Insurance problems?!
Question:
Insurance problems?
I'm really backed into a corner here. I'm currently a full-time college student living with friends in an apartment. I don't have a good relationship with my parents and don't get any help. However since I am still only 22 their income comes into account with everything. They won't put me on their insurance so I need to get it myself. What do I do? I only make like $300 a month with my on campus job. I work a good job over the summer and save for my apartment. How can I afford to pay my cell-phone, car insurance, and then have money for health insurance and food? Man...life sucks.
Answers:
Most colleges and some private insurance companies have a student plan available with a reasonable premium. Contact your school to see if they have one. If not, contact a local independent agent who can find one for you.
What are your priorities? The last time I looked a cell phone for most people was a convenience, not a necessity, so you may have to give up the phone for awhile. Does it suck? Sure. So does having to pay a $10,000 hospital bill because you don't have insurance.
