Basically i m a consultant and an adviser at ATOS international and i must say that due to the present conditions and due to the recession in the economy it is becoming even worse day by day and i am not figuring it out that how to control my budget because i have a huge family to support and i have to pay the bills of my house and also the nursing bills of my father because he used to live in a nursing home and it becoming non-bearable for me day by day and i have my own family too so i just want to ask that what can i save out of $500 and can i have an insurance of mine at that price ?

    Only you can answer that question - $500 in, less all your outgoings, leaves you with how much you can save.

    Increase your income or decrease your outgoings - either will work.

    Based on you quoting an amount in dollars I assume you're in the USA. As this site is mainly UK based you may find a site that deals with US might be more use as we don't have to pay medical insurance etc.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    If its a troll then I'd rate it even lower than that!

    This is the best advice - if you are not based in the UK.
