Don't laugh but did you check AARP? sm
Our insurance went up and was nearly impossible to understand. I checked AARP's plans, they're comparable to what the company offers at about $25 more including dental and eye, and a lot less confusing. If the insurance goes up again next year and becomes more incomprehensible, it's AARP for me.
I forwarded this to AARP with some choice words

AARP was $800 per month, single. $1000 deductible. SM
I know personal insurance is reasonable for people under 50, really I do, but I'm not under 50, I'll be 60 in June. I have checked all over and, even with spousal insurance, it is 800-850. There is an insurance crisis in this country of epic proprotions and I don't see it being solved anytime soon.
I'm willing to pay well for my insurance, even though I am healthy now, but not 800 and up and those didn't even cover a yearly PE. Even my crummy Spheris insurance pays for that.
It's doable .. currently I work 3 (sm)
different transcription jobs and before that I worked 2 so yah, it's doable. Just realize you'll be married to your computer and will likely be typing all day and probably until 11:00 at night. I need the $ so I neglect everything else at the moment.
My kids are older though.
It is very doable. Actually, I make way more, but.....sm
not at 8 cpl, more like 13 cpl and average anywhere from $50 to $60 an hour.
At 10 cpl, gross line, I averaged about $45+ an hour.
Never worked for less than that, so I really can't speak about hourly averages for 8 cpl.
Satellite doable with Axolotl?nm

NightOwl, 350 lines is doable....
and without compromising your quality. Sure, I still probably have errors on my reports as I did with typing. Not huge, but if and when I reread, I do find little errors, but no different than when I would proof a whole report that I would have typed. Now think about this for a moment. When you started transcription and you were only typing 100 lines per hour, you probably asked I am just not sure how I could type 200 lines without compromising my quality...well look you have!!! Same concept. You will get better and better at each day, week, month. I started VR probably last fall. Now at first my line count was the same; it didn't slow me down nor did it increase my speed. Now here we are about 9 mos later, and I am probably making $200 more per pay check. Still after 9 mos, each and everyday I find little tricks here and there that increase my speed and I am still learning. It is a skill just like any other that will get better with time. I am no expert by any means, I wished I could edit at 500 lines per hour, but I can't...but I am improving still. Good luck!
one weekend a month is absolutely doable! sm
I was just offered a position and I am seriously considering taking it, however, I had to send a few more questions to the recruiter, but sounds and looks great. If the testing reports I did are indicative of the reports I would be getting for work I am really thrilled!!
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.
Yup, it is doable.
perhaps math is your problem. 375 lines/hour x 0.08 = 30.00. totally doable.
