PhilosipherStoned Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I've never really understood how they do it here.. It's simular, but like I said I'm pretty sure I've got more than that. They also pay out every two weeks not every week though now I think so that's probably it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you only need to make something like 36k a year to get the max of $350 a week (not doing the real math on this, just at a glancing it.)

Distinct Lunatic Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I was originally paying around $130 a month for Auto full coverage through progressive, but when I bought my house back in March I switched over to Liberty Mutual. I would have been paying around $110 or so for house insurance when bundled with progressive, but with LM I went down to $100 for Auto and all my premiums were doubled, house ins. dropped only by $10. In all though I got a really good deal switching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started buying my car from a dealership when I was 24, me being required to have full coverage by the dealership. At that time it would have cost me somewhere above $200 a month, close to $300 for full coverage (want to note that I've been driving for around 5 years by that point and to this day have never had an accident or gotten a speeding ticket), back then my mom had me put under their ins. policy, me listed as the primary driver of my car, because of that I was only paying a little over a hundred, but once I went over 25 years old that's when the price dropped a lot for me, me getting my own ins policy then.

Now I'm curious what someone making $20k in your state would get. *Google's some math* I think this is right - It looks like you were making $20k a year at an even $5k a quarter (which is what you would gross earning like $9.50 an hour working 40hrs a week for the entire year) then your state would only give them about $190 a week/$760 a month, who TF could live off that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
