    This has definitely been the funniest, broadest advice I’ve gotten so far thank you. I didn’t even think of insurance till now so I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

    The 100k-200k a year thing was baffling to me to say the least, i was assuming they were like city centre paychecks

      I got insurance through ACA. I opted for the gold policy. Luckily that year my bill was only $12,000 so only had to pay around 10%.

      I had a chest x-ray took 2 minutes $1,200.

      Be absolutely sure you get health insurance immediately even if you think you’re young and fit. Shit happens.

      My income was about $65k and it was difficult to make ends meet. Just south of Cleveland, Ohio for reference.
