I broke my wrist at the start of 2023 and the bill to me after insurance was $6k lol. I saw the bill the doctor submitted to insurance and it was $40k. The ambulance bill came in separately at around $800.
I'm tired of fighting my own people when I say we shouldn't be in chains
Damn. This a little meme reminder that any savings i have towards retirement could disappear in an instant.
Yeah but Luigi has a gun
I first read it as "mechanical debt" (probably because of the gear-shaped figure), and had an existential crisis for a few milliseconds. I need to take my car to the shop as soon as I can afford it.
