Fuck man mine was 4k good for these guys
Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.
This is going to sound condescending but i mean it. Good for you for being happy for these dudes instead of upset about it.
Too many times (especially recently) i see people angry that others get something they didn't. Its nice to see and restores my faith in humanity when i read things or hear things like your comment.
Thanks man, i really needed that.
I wanted to say the same thing about being happy for others. A lot of people I know got super angry about student loan forgiveness. The forgiveness wasn't even full forgiveness, and it never even went through for most people, but they still found a way to complain about how nobody deserved forgiveness because when they were in school in prehistoric times they paid their way through and people today are just lazy and pick worthless majors.
That just means you still paid for it, but with extra steps. Namely, premiums being taken out of your paycheck and a lower gross salary to cover the "employer's portion".
Very astute of you to know how insurance works. Thanks for contributing positively to a discussion instead of trying to point out an obvious way things work in life.
The lucky part is that the insurance actually paid for it.
