I see. Thanks. Lately I've started to realize just how expensive health and education are in the us.

I went to see a neurologist and paid 0 cents My brother is considering a biology PhD and he's broke. A 3 bedroom house costs like 60k usd

    That same house in my area costs at least 10 times that amount. I was lucky in that I had "only" $80,000 of debt from my bachelor's, a housing situation via marriage, and a career path with solid pay (after going back for an associate's while working in a low-paying job post-graduation for 7 years). I only finally paid off that debt 2 years ago and I graduated in 2008. I don't know how a lot of people manage.
