I knew it!

Is that you Elon?

I love the stache.

After a super busy friends wedding weekend. I’m just going to sit down and play some mass effect. Just to not do anything at all.

This was mine too. The bathtub scene with the lady gave me nightmares for weeks.

Such a good game. Sometimes my friends and I turn on runners and randomly drop into the same town. Seeing how long we survive. Just get eaten every second. Good times.

But did you check your pens?

Honestly, batteries of any kind. Only buy from the manufacturers of the product the batteries work with. If it’s underpriced on Amazon, it’s probably a fucked up battery that has a higher risk of starting an electrical fire. Portable tool batteries, ebike batteries, handheld system batteries.

I’m not fucking around with unsafe batteries.

I live a comfortable decently comfortable life. I know a lot of people are struggling. We just got a house a year ago. And as a younger generation, that’s hard to do these days. I would say simply having a house feels like a luxury.

Oh totally agree with you. Our system is sooooo dumb. Plus, this is all just the payments for the actual healthcare and how it interacts with my insurance. This does not include the insurance premiums I pay every paycheck.

I spend all of this on top of my insurance premiums.

Typically you have a choice between public Medicare/Medicaid, high deductible health care plan through work. Or co pay plan through work. And as for per month. It really depends on the job. Everything depends on where you work. If you work at a company with good healthcare you will probably pay more. But have a lower max out of pocket.

If you want I could look up what I pay on a monthly basis for my healthcare and get back to you.

I have insurance. Just to give you perspective. I had a video call for some mental health diagnosis. I now have a bill of $568 dollars. Reminder, this is WITH insurance. I have to pay that out of pocket. And I even have to set up additional appointments. Which will be probably around the same price.

I also have an inhaler. I had a doctor’s appointment to get a refill on my medication because I don’t have to use the inhaler too much (meaning I don’t have to refill often). I try to stay healthy and workout and only have to use it when working out/exercising. $300 dollars for the appointment. Another $212 for the actual medication that I picked up. In the last 30 days I have blown over a grand on medical. And I’m not even sick/unhealthy.

My wife on the other hand has very expensive monthly medication for a rare disease. She hits her max out of pocket every year which is 5k. Which we just have to pay forever. If I was on her healthcare plan, we would end up paying 10k every year just for healthcare.

I would say on a regular year. We pay around 7k in healthcare costs with our insurance (depending on how healthy I am throughout the year). On a light year 5.5k.

Also good source of protein.

And some Canadians that were reading their compass wrong.

Hey, don’t let your job define you. I feel like I have imposter syndrome every day at my job. But at the end of the day, a job is a job. Do you have any hobbies? Music?

Also, the job market is hard. Try not to let it get you down (as much as you can. I know it’s demoralizing.)

Ah shit, I missed that part. I was distracted by cat pic.

I don’t know who’s down voting you for posting a cat pic.
