I have been contributing to a HSA the last couple years, and it’s been fine. My work contributes $1800 over the year and it hasn’t really been a problem at all....
You’ll probably need to provide more details about the premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums of PPO vs HDHP, projected healthcare costs (at least your current year costs so far), and how much you are able to stomach for the cost now vs later
PPO might be better if you can stomach the premiums and hit your deductible early enough. HDHP might be better if you can stomach the higher deductible and reimburse yourself years down the line after your HSA has had some time to be invested and grow from its investments
It’s hard to say without concrete numbers and only going based off thoughts and feelings
Waffle House workers are rising up across the South to demand 24/7 security, an end to unfair paycheck deductions, and a fair wage from the iconic Southern restaurant.
If you’re unfamiliar, the deductions they are talking about is a shift meal deduction. IIRC, I think it’s a 2 tier deduction where if you work like ~6 or less you get a meal deducted from the shift you worked and 6+ is two meals from your paycheck. The hour amount might be different, but there is a tiered system to it
It’s a fair ask, because some people do not want to eat Waffle House. Tho tbf, managers probably don’t even track if you ate meals at all and I have eaten more than 2 meals on shift
In any case, I do believe that there should be a clause stating that wages should increase a certain amount to keep up with CoL changes
While it was an interesting time working there, it was by no means an easy time. They do deserve higher wages and a safer work env
