bride2b asked:
I am moving from San Francisco to Cape Town, I have a quote to move a pallate of my stuff (about a cubic meter) via boat for about $450 excluding insurance. There does not seem to be a weight limit, and will take 2 months to get there. Does that sound about par? Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Cost of health Insurance for kids?
Yogi asked:
In short I read were Pres. Bush just vetoed the bill because the Dem wanted to raise the cost of smokes from 61 cents to $1.00 all well and good. What I’m thinking here is more and more people are not smoking so in turn less are being purchased. The cost keeps going up so no one is going to be able to afford them, the farmer has more or less been bought out. So even if they had passed the bill in a short amount of time(not my life time)nobody is going to be able to pay for the cost of smokes and in time the so much needed Health Insurance won’t have any money to pay for it. They will agin have to look for something like the smokes to pay for it. Such as the air we breath oops they all ready got us on that one(vehicles inspections each year), how about the cost of a stamp, well that keeps going up also, fuel is nto an option. They will come out with a tax on emails we all send, won’t that be a pisser? What can we do?

Where do I get Pregnancy insurance (already pregnant) in New York “Upstate”?
Karlee bug asked:
We have been “trying” to have another baby for a year now… We are pregnant and without insurance… which was ok until I found out we are a high-risk pregnancy and it will be costing us a whole lot more than we figured… Does anyone know where I can get pregnancy insurance, already being pregnant, in Madison County New York ??? That does not go by income guidelines as we are self employeed and that does not go by how much is in our checking/savings accounts. (both our mothers recently passed away and that life insurance money is in the savings accounts) Thanks in advance for answers…

What might an average middle- class life cost in Miami for a couple with no kids?
Posted by admin in Personal Finance on December 10, 2009
ihaveaquestion asked:
I’m particularly interested in what an average weekly grocery shopping may range for a couple. I normally spend in between $80-100 for quality groceries in NYC.
Also, the monthly cost of having a used car including gas, insurance, financing, maintenance, etc. I found on Edmunds that buying a ‘04 mini cooper in Miami will run around $600/month. But a friend keeps
hers for around $200/m. What’s realistic? thanks!

In America, what happens if you need urgent medical treatment and don’t have insurance?
Tim asked:
If you don’t have medical insurance and you are—for example— involved in a serious car accident and require extensive, major surgery, what happens?
If you don’t have medical insurance and you are—for example— involved in a serious car accident and require extensive, major surgery, what happens?
Surely, a Doctor under Hippocratic Oath cannot refuse treatment. Yet, what if the individual clearly has no money or insurance and the treatment costs many thousands of dollars to save his or her life.
I’m just curious (I don’t live in America obviously).
Thanks.

nomercy77 asked:
I live in Texas. My daughter is 7 months now. I have been paying 600 a month since my daughter has been born. We were never married. She wants me to stay out of my child’s life. She left me for her ex right before she found out she was pregnant. We have not been to mediation yet. She is asking for $3000 in back medical cost, $2100 in back child support, and $150,000 in life insurance set up in a trust for my daughter. I make 55k a year. She asking for 900 a month child support. That is including health insurance at her cost of a $150. As in visitation I half way agree to 9-6 every Sunday with no over nights. I want more but she won’t agree to it. I have found the child laws are different with a child under 3 years old in Texas than the standard visitation. She may be able to not let me have her overnight until she is 3 years old. I work to many hours during the week to see my daughter on the weekdays. Should i fight her. With her and her ex they make more than twice as much as I do. She has a really good attorney. I don’t want to go bankrupt fighting her. I want to be able to provide my daughter with a bigger place in the future.

What company offers the best medical insurance for the lowest prices?
The New “Dolemite” asked:
I got layed off the first of October and now I’m needing medical insurance and life insurance. My Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance NOW will cost $900/ month since I’m no longer employed with the company I was working for and I was paying under $60.00/ month for the 4 years I worked for the company. Big difference isn’t it? Any suggestions? See, I’m on three different pills relating to my high blood pressure. I don’t need to run out or miss a dose for more than one day since I start feeling a headache from helll even after I take the pills. I have to stay on top of them; so, I need some insurance QUICK. Tell me your monthly rate along with the insurance company’s name, if you don’t mind. Thanks.
