Medical cost

Medical cost has grown more than inflation for the past 20 years - and it's not getting better!

We have to do all we can to save on medical cost - even if it appears to be a small savings.

Here's a few ideas:

  • Ask your doctor for generic prescriptions.
  • Give up a bad habit such as smoking or alcohol. A pack-a-day smoker will save over $1000 in a year!
  • Have regular checkups.
  • Use clinics or the local health department when possible.
  • Ask your doctor for sample prescriptions. Most doctors have samples, especially for new products.

Remember - frugal living is not cheap living - it is smart living!
