Agree to an extent with the dental stuff. Crown prices have stayed relatively the same price for years. Dental fees go up by about 2-5% a year, but if you have dental insurance it doesn’t.
Delta Dental (largest insurance company in the US) hasn’t raised their reimbursements in years, and actually have been dropping their reimbursement rates the past couple of years. That’s why so many dental offices are dropping their contracts with dental insurance companies, because everything is going up except dental fees.
I’m not complaining just explaining. Yes I do well financially but I also have 500k student loans that need paid back, 1 Million dollar practice loan, a 300k building remodel loan and so on. By the time I pay taxes and bills; there are welders, heavy equipment operators, diesel mechanics and so on that make more than I do without all the stress.
