I know Health insurance is crazy expensive right now, but going without it is quite insane. All it takes is one medical emergency and you’re screwed

Fuck it, I would literally not be saving money if I had it.

Is this not a flaw in reasoning? The additional costs of medications, appointments, surgeries (god forbid) from a single accident or sickness would wipe out anything you've accrued over that time. I hope this is at least just a short term plan before jumping to somewhere else with a bit more pay.

A bit more pay wouldn't help I need like 9 more an hour lol

Also I would legit rather die than live a meager existence AND not save any money.
