That depends on how you define "cheap."  When I was making $20K/year and
I needed insurance to cover a gap between my old and new policies, it
was $100/month for just me.  That was a big expense relative to my gross
income.

Yeah, but their 401K isn't going to beat someone else's who gets a
significant contribution from their employer, like many faculty at
universities.

Interesting.  Could someone set up some dummy corporation just to save
on the premiums?
