Let's say, for example, you earn $53,000 and spend $80 a month for insurance â right at the national median household income and average premium for a single car. Your monthly gross income would be $4,416, one-tenth of that would be $441 and the monthly car payment you could afford would be $365.et's say, for example, you earn $53,000 and spend $80 a month for insurance â right at the national median household income and average premium for a single car.

As we describe below, the ovaries continue to produce hormones for many years after menopause and these hormones have many health benefits, as well as benefits for improved mood, prevention of vaginal dryness, preservation of skin tone and elasticity. Significantly, the ovaries produce hormones long after menopause. Estrogen continues to be produced in small amounts, about 25 percent of normal pre-menopausal levels. Testosterone is another hormone normally produced by the ovary and the ovary continues to make testosterone for about 30 years after menopause.
In normal menstruating women, about 40 percent of their testosterone arises from the ovaries, while the remaining 60 percent comes from conversion of DHEA produced in the adrenal glands. DHEA is also estimated to contribute 70 percent of estrogens before menopause and nearly 100 percent after menopause.enopause. Given the link between DHEA and sex hormones, the role that DHEA plays in menopause and its many symptoms has been examined, with interesting results. In one study of twenty postmenopausal women who took 25 mg DHEA daily for twelve months, the results were significant.
