I think you put it really well. I’ve gotten to a place of financial stability and shave realized how precarious it still is. I can weather small car emergencies but when it comes to medical bills, that’s a different story.

I’m just working on emigrating to a country with a better social safety net. I’d rather pay more in taxes (though tbh it’s about the same) and not have to worry anymore.

I am glad to hear it!

Would you mind elaborating a bit about your situation especially regarding health insurance? It seems like healthcare varies so much based on what health insurance one has.
