But the problem with that logic is, in many parts of the US doctors book months/years out (at least doctors that accept the most common insurance providers). If we're having months long Waits, we might as well pay less too! I think right now is among the worst possible outcomes: paying significantly more while getting about the same (or less) as other developed countries
In November I bought a 2023 Subaru Impreza. Lots of people asked why I didn't buy a used car, and those people didn't believe me when I explained that a 2019 Impreza with 100k miles was only $1,000 less than a new car with 5 miles. Besides, Subaru was offering a special deal where financing a new car was for an interest rate of 3.9%, which is not remotely possible for a used car. I don't regret my decision!
As someone in my 20s who recently first started my first salaried, "adult" job with benefits, the question of how to make more money without picking up a 2nd job is something I've been thinking about, particularly as heating and groceries costs surge. I haven't yet looked into treasury bills and money back apps but I will make sure to.
