Good morning healthies
I had to order a prescription refill (for the diabetes) this morning and, while I was on the website, thought I'd check something out.
Here's a little bonus I received for working on getting healthier...purely in dollars and cents:
- 2010 - total cost I paid for prescriptions was $3,212.29
- 2011 - total cost I paid for prescriptions was $1,331.63
- 2012 - anticipated total cost I will pay for prescriptions is $401.52
That means I paid myself $1,880.66 in 2011.....and will pay myself $2,810.77 this year....instead of putting it in the pockets of the drug companies.
And....cuz I love math....if I had stayed on the 2010 figures, my outlay for meds over the next 25 years (to age 75) would have been $80,307.25.....at the current level, my cost to the same point will be $10,038.....
a savings of $70,269.35
