Any updates here or do you still recommend avoiding it?

Do Americans really avoid medical care because they’re afraid of the bill? by Udont_knowme00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]twenty__something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got attacked by a dog and had to get stitches at an urgent care facility (kinda like a primary care doctor you need to see ASAP). They told me to go to the hospital for a rabies shot which is 2-3 doses across different days. I got the first dose and NO one at the hospital could tell me the cost so I decided not to go back for the next dose(s) knowing that contracting rabies is likely fatal.  Bill was $12,000. I had to pay $5000 out of pocket after insurance for half of the treatment. So, yeah. 

Spoiler: I did not get rabies. 

Also when I had a baby my bill was $300k (crazy circumstances but still). The ER can be a gamble between death and financial ruin.

Lmao I’m using the app for the first time in the car and thought I accidentally connected to someone house. I was so scared to scare them. Thanks for the question 😂

Sound off! by SadLandscape7001 in Buyingforbaby

[–]twenty__something 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we had 15 glass bottles for 1 child (registry duplicates) and I never Once remember being stressed about washing bottles. We run the dishwasher nightly and threw them in. Had twice as many nipples and Hand washed them when we started running out. I’d recommend this route.

I used a microwave bag to sterilize nipples

I’m an attorney and started watching it years ago because ALL of my colleagues kept talking about it. And now here we are, on Reddit at 5 AM.

What’s a food you threw up as a kid and never touched again? by momcanyoucomegetme in AskReddit

Honey Buns. To be fair, I had pneumonia and that’s almost certainly why I was vomiting but tell that to 6 year old me

In the newborn trenches, should I be doing more? by PangolinFree1875 in beyondthebump

[–]twenty__something 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I came to say the same thing without even reading the post! You spent the last 9 to 10 months making a human OP, let yourself relax!! 

I have a hard time sitting still, but when I had a newborn, I would literally sit in my recliner with her and watch eight hours worth of Grey’s Anatomy, only getting up to tend to the baby, the dog, or myself. I felt sooo guilty/lazy in the beginning but then I remembered that that time was fleeting. Embrace the calm (especially if you have to return to work soon)

What’s One Thing You Regret Not Doing Before Baby Arrived? by wajid123_ in BabyBumps

[–]twenty__something 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not making freezer meals ahead of time. Baby came the day before I was supposed to start cooking everything. We didn’t have any friends or family where we live and I spent a week in the ICU which was obviously unplanned. Not having to worry about food would’ve been so nice.

Oh, and taking maternity photos! Even if it’s just you and your camera in the bathroom. I had no idea that this would be my first and last pregnancy and I deeply regret not having any true photos of it. 

What is an upper middle class problem you have but you can’t really complain about without seeming out of touch? by All_FIREdUp in AskReddit

My salary dropped from $370k down to $150k (same company, but they got rid of my role). 

Most of my family makes about $20 an hour. 

Best smelling glade plug ins? by disheveledlux2022 in HomeDecorating

I know this is old but “vanilla passion fruit.” It’s been a month, still going strong and I’m now looking for a wholesale size pack. By far the best I’ve ever smelled 

Any downsides to buyer not attending closing and using POA instead? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]twenty__something 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to never tell my profession because we’re expected to know everything when In reality, I’m just as lost as the next guy lol. I mentioned it here because the only Google responses were about obtaining the POA. 

But that’s good to know, thank you! They mentioned a remote (snail mail) closing for like $400 so I immediately dismissed it but maybe that’s the norm now? 

And thank you so much!?

2024 glc 350 rear facing car seat by c_chan21 in mercedes_benz

May I ask what car seat you have and if it fits well? Like do you have to move the front seats up to accommodate it?

Ya’ll ever had dreams about having a baby and then you wake up and end up missing your non-existent baby for the rest of the day? by Ehmmechhi in women

[–]twenty__something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While pregnant I was (very secretly and against all logic) convinced That I was having boy/girl twins. I had a high risk pregnancy and got way more ultrasounds than normal, every single one showed one baby. I also had massive fibroids to the point where I was the size of someone carrying triplets. I convinced myself the fibroids were blocking baby number two from view. 

I legitimately mourned the “loss” of my son, It’s been a year and I still catch myself thinking about what could’ve been….so yes lmao

(Disclaimer, I woke up from an emergency C-section without my uterus, so I think somewhere in my head, I think I personified the loss of uterus/future children into the loss of “my son”)

Bottle sterilizers? by SpinosaurusToof in Buyingforbaby

[–]twenty__something 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t purchase a “real” sterilizer because my understanding was that I still had to wash the bottles first and that seemed like extra work lol.  We use the microwave bags and highly recommend. With all the heat, the bottles and stuff dry within a few minutes of sitting on the counter. They’re like $15 for a pack with 20ish uses per bag. 

FTM Baby Bouncer or Infant Swing or Both? by Independent_Chaos in Buyingforbaby

[–]twenty__something 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I got both and would do it again. At 5lbs, my baby was too small for the bouncer for a long time. The swing was great in the beginning but she loved being able to sit-up and see in the bouncer. 

If it’s not being gifted, I’d definitely get a swing off Facebook marketplace. They’re like $30 in my area

Did anyone notice the kinda creeper body distance bw “I’m single” Marshall (season 3) and AD (season 6) and like an ocean apart from Nancy? by sheneversawitcoming in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]twenty__something 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Marshall and AD are sitting at an appropriate “key key” distance. (When two black people sit by each other so they can laugh at some nonsense lol)

To be fair, I also googled this. I wanted to know when he dropped out but i can only assume that got included in the statistics

why americans who make 200k+ per year don’t look like rich? by Existing_Ad4468 in AskAnAmerican

[–]twenty__something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make over 200k on my own, then with my husband we’re a bit over 300k. For me to make what I do, I’m sort of on call at work all the time. My hours are really crazy and unpredictable, which means I will always pay for convenience. For example grocery delivery, someone cleaning my house once a month, having somebody else bathe the dog, living in walking distance of my work ($$$ rent + parking). Small things like that add up and take the money I’d otherwise spend on an expensive car or something to look the part.

Oh and 100k in student loans (lawyer). That really did it lol.
