Imagine finally paying off your student debt and decide to have a baby and get slapped with way more debt, I’m good. By the time I can afford my first house, I’ll be going through menopause

With my insurance I would pay $500 for the annual max out of pocket, then everything else would be covered.

Yep, and if you’re full time, after 4 years at top scale you’re making $45 an hour. I drive semi and when the contract is up in 2028 I’ll be making a hair under $50 an hour. Overtime is anything over 8 hours a day, so the money is great. Our facility sucks ass as far as morale and I have to fight to get anything, and they treat women like garbage, but the insurance alone is worth it. Not to mention having a $5-7k a month pension someday when I retire in 25 years.
