How good/bad do I have it at my job?

Questions:

1) Estimate Med/dental/eye premiums per month.
2) Vacation/sick time? Ease of getting time off when you need it?
3) 401k? (Is this what you were referring to when you said retirement? They are often two different things.)

Comments (1-5 scale, 3 = no better/worse than peers)

Pay (I have no knowledge of your field): 3
No raise after a year: 1
Schedule: 4.5
Proximity to work: 5
Boss: 3
Rent: 4
Benefits: TBD

What other bills do you have? Seems like you should have more than 120 leftover considering the low rent. Overall you have it pretty good. But if you don't have 401k, that's pretty horrible. I can accept slightly lower pay as a trade off for great schedule/commute. But if you can't even bank anything for retirement and get some kind of company matching, that really blows.

edit: $120/week, that's better. Yeah overall it seems like you are a 4 on the crazyeyez job satisfaction scale.

1) 25$ copay for medical, 15$ for allergy shot, 0$ copay for dental (unelss i have a filling. cleanings are free), havne't been to eye doctor yet
2) 2 weeks each year for vacation. day before notice required only
3) no, profit sharing, from what i understand. they match whatever i put in too.

other bills that i have are the following (pasted from excel spreadsheet):

these bills are MONTHLY, not WEEKLY:

Rent $650.00
Loan $541.00
Gas Vehicle $80.00
Heat $80.00
Electric $80.00
Retirement $0.00
Phone bill $60.98
Food $200.00
Internet $45.95
Car payment $0.00

most of these are divided by two (gf pays for half of utilities and such)
