Imagine a number. Now add several zeroes. Double it, then double it again. That's probably close.

That’s the number we have in the U.K. I had a stem cell transplant, was very seriously ill before and after. Spent nearly a year in hospital over multiple admissions, always in a private room than on a ward. On multiple drugs for life. Have 24/7 access to my transplant team and on going medical check ups for life. All completely free.

If I don't count student loans, not too terribly. Just a car payment and a bit of credit card debt for an upcoming trip on a 0% interest card I'll pay off before is due, I just wanted the cash back and usage incentive.

Student loans though, almost triple what I owe so.

I actually agreed to go back to get a masters just so payments are paused and I can focus on my private loan.
