As I piece together our budget spreadsheets projecting our expenses for the next 60 years, there’s one line item that I keep coming back to over and over, the cost of health care.

Each quarter I put together a list of the 5% cash back on rotating categories. However, I find that there’s something missing from just looking at the current quarter.
