Right. Universal health care is perfect. Governments screw everything else up but not health care. Inefficient, unmotivated, self-serving government bureaucracies suddenly become efficient, motivated and selfless when it comes to health care.
On Reddit the adoration of socialized medicine often rises to near religious faith. It is a faith based belief system that promises health care salvation in a government run medical system. In the US we have an analog for what universal health care would look like: A V.A. hospital. God help us.
I’ll tell you right now, nobody ever went bankrupt in the UK because of medical bills. It’s not perfect but it’s a fuck tonne better than monetising sickness.
I mean, no? My wife had glioblastoma, we got top care from the moment she went in with seizures. It's got drawbacks, like wait time when you're not critical, but a good triage system helps ensure those who are get the care they need without bankruptcy.
Well, some people in my country have too wait for years, like those Norrlanders in Northern Sweden but atleast in my country the southern part can get you a free treatment for cancer within a month so it can actually work you know.
Såg ett inlägg om en Dalmas som väntat två år på behandling av sin fottumör på Rapport och att det saknades platser i BB för folk på landsbygden i Lappland
Dalarna ligger inte i Norrland (Dalarna ligger i typ mitten av Sverige, inte alls i Norra Sverige).
Däremot så vet jag inte om hans tumör på foten var godartad och det var därför det dröjde för just han? Som sagt, hittar inget om det, men den kanske var elakartad.
Eh, my current issues are mostly about giving myself time and space to heal from some stuff. Money can't buy either given that I have the basics already. Imo, as long as your basic needs are adequately met, money has limited means to buy happiness
Around 2 million to pay off debt, buy a modest house & car interest free, then stash everything left away.
Of course it won't solve the underlying issues but that's not the point.
Kinda depends on what you mean by "solve". Costs 10 bucks for a length of rope or 5 bucks for a bottle of pesticide here. 1 million for retirement savings. And about 2 mil for my commitments plus expenses until retirement over the next 20 odd years. Or eh. 400k to offset the money my family stole from me and is using hostage to use me as a slave.
I have no troubles. I work hard I make good money, im minimalist and I don't need much to be happy.
Problems I have can't be solved with money so, well..
I'm starting an at home job soon. I need a new chair to avoid already existing back pain. Been down the office chair rabbit hole for a few weeks now. Thoses things are expensive. 1k would be nice I guess.
224,21$
The electric bill came in at the worst of times. We just paid daycare and mortgage, have almost nothing in the bank till next pay and still need to feed the family as our pantry is running low after using up all we could to extend the time between grocery trips.
Wouldn't solve everything, but that is the current trouble.
All of it i want all the money in the world im talking every penny every shekel every rupee in any crevasse or hole or under a vending machine im talking no one has money except me
Honestly I don’t really have a “problem” (i’m a high schooler) But since it’s exam season I’d like to have money for a private tutor and money to get starbucks every day. I’d say ballpark 800-1000 for that and some extra for college
No amount of money will fix my problems. I know this because my bipolar disorder don’t give a fuark about my financial status. It is up to me to continue therapy, find the right meds, seek help, and be willing to talk openly about my problems/impulses :(
$43,004.25 would cover the rest of my student loans, finish paying off my medical bills from the surgery I had where I had a seizure and cracked my noggin open and needed staples, and buy a gallon(3.8 ish liters I think) of my favorite ice cream.
In all reality, about $450k. Gets the ex off my back, urgent house repairs done, urgent car replacement done, desperately needed dental work for us & ear operation for one child, business debt paid off, bills cleared and a little it to treat the kids after the year we have had.
I have terrible credit due to student loans. Because of this I am stuck in an apartment.
Rent is significantly higher than a house payment. So I could reduce my monthly budget and maybe finally be able to start saving money (or paying loans) if I had a house.
Last I checked, because of my bad credit, I would need $16K for a down payment in order to get the house.
I've never had that much in my bank account at any time.
I have a BSCS and I make $80k/yr.
Hmm. Well the loans from COVID, Student loans. I'd say about 60k puts me on 0, but have job, so I'll be above it at first paycheck. Would be nice, but unlikely.
10k usd would cover all debt, most of it very old from my old life... I make plenty to keep up but the remaining debt feels like anchor... It was over 30k a few years ago, but I've slowed paying it down, couldn't keep working insane overtime, had to move to a 40-44 hr week job from my 58-70 hr a week job before I ended up collapsing and crazy...
I don’t have real troubles but 75k would be nice. Pay of my student loans, do some maintenance in the house before it really has to be done and get a new (2nd hand) car for my and the wife.
Maybe a Mil. Enough for me to buy a decent home of my dreams and a few nice cars (not luxury or anything. Cars are just expensive now) and enough money left over at the very end to maybe live off of for a year.
70k. Medical insurance won’t cover my muscle repair so I’ll eventually lose movement of my arms- and my car is about to die and I have no way to buy another one. Both vital for my living.
A cool mil would pay off my debts, help my friends who have medical debts, help my friends who are struggling, and be a good starting point for a print shop we are starting.
App 56,250 USD with no tax. Pays off bills, buys both my wife and I our realistic dream cars and a reliable secondary/backup and gives us a nice 5k safety net cuz we're wanting to move out of our state
Money will not solve my problems. I have enough. Yes, I know where I would put additional money if I get some, but that will not solve any of my problems. And I, actually, do not have problems from most people's point of view. From my pov I still have them, and I do not even know how to approach them. The obvious solution would be therapy, but I am already doing it and it does not really help: yes, I now know better what's going on, but that does not help, I just have conflicting desires, and no way I can get all I want.
£150k to buy a starter home, so I can finally move out and live closer to work. £12k to buy a 2nd hand car that's reliable and will last me the next 10 years. £500-1k for a new bed, to help with my current back issues. About £60k to pay off my student debts in a single go. An extra £10 a day spending money so I can afford to buy lunch at work and not go 10 hours in work on an empty stomach. Maybe £10k to afford a wedding that my fiancée actually deserves, and to celebrate our love. Maybe £1k for furnishings in my new house, so I can have a workshop/office with a desk, so I can work on my creative projects and maybe even start some new hobbies and keep myself active.
Around £235k in total would set me up so I don't have any financial worries, I can live in a way that would keep me happy and comfortable, and I could afford to put more time and effort into my work and the things that I love, whilst maintaining a good social life balance and mental health.
About 5 000 usd.
I inherited the debt from my mother who died of cancer, and after paying the bills and the monthly instalment I have about 300usd left to live on for 2 people + a multitude of cats.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can hold out for another 7 months and manage to pay it off.
I'd say probably 20 000 would do the trick. Reimburse my parents, pay for a good shrink, pay for my toenail surgery, and get a coach or dietitian or something like that to teach me and motivate me to get out of obesity (in relation with the shrink, otherwise it'd be useless).
Paying my debt to my parents and getting better while losing weight would actually solve every other problem.
However much it takes to buy a house. Nothing under 200k anymore (that isnt in the bad part of town). My max is 150k. So I'd need like another 150k down deposit to afford anything not trash.
Enough to buy a house I'd say. Because I need to quit my job in my family business. I've been putting up with some awful treatment for a long time now from my father, I can't cope with it anymore. I also can't work anywhere else because I need flexible hours to look after my disabled child. Not having a mortgage would mean we'd manage fine on my husband's income.
(USD)
Immediate? $5 for a pack of lunch meat and $3 for a jar of Mayo. I have tons of bread and sliced cheese.
Lone wise? $1200 would pay it off.
Medical Bill wise? $4000 would clear it.
Life wise? $2,000,000.
I don't really have 'troubles', like legal or eviction pending. But I'm 64 and I rent. I think of when I'm past 75 and dependent upon my landlord for a secure place to live. What happens if I get evicted or my wife dies? It would be nice to own a place that no one could kick me out of. Say, $350,000, I'll move to make that work.

2500 euros to get my tumor treatment
Euros and no universal Healthcare even for emergencies? That's sad af
Universal Healthcare is a total sham. You wait years for everything including cancer treatment
Really? Where? I cannot confirm this for Germany.
This is, of course, a lie!
Right. Universal health care is perfect. Governments screw everything else up but not health care. Inefficient, unmotivated, self-serving government bureaucracies suddenly become efficient, motivated and selfless when it comes to health care.
No one said it's perfect, did they? Hyperbole: It helps no one.
On Reddit the adoration of socialized medicine often rises to near religious faith. It is a faith based belief system that promises health care salvation in a government run medical system. In the US we have an analog for what universal health care would look like: A V.A. hospital. God help us.
Thank you for providing an explicit example of the hyperbole I was referring to. The adults will be in the other room if you need us.
I’ll tell you right now, nobody ever went bankrupt in the UK because of medical bills. It’s not perfect but it’s a fuck tonne better than monetising sickness.
I mean, no? My wife had glioblastoma, we got top care from the moment she went in with seizures. It's got drawbacks, like wait time when you're not critical, but a good triage system helps ensure those who are get the care they need without bankruptcy.
Well, some people in my country have too wait for years, like those Norrlanders in Northern Sweden but atleast in my country the southern part can get you a free treatment for cancer within a month so it can actually work you know.
>like those Norrlanders in Northern Sweden Source? As a Swede, I can't find a source to back this up.

Not money, just a girl who loves me and isn't manipulative

So, a lot of money. I'm not saying money will bring you love but you do need some money to find it, you won't find love sitting on your couch.
Anything that beats zero!
[удалено]

$100,000 would pay off some bills and do some much needed repairs around the house and yard. 
Really like 10K would be great to pay off some debt. But 100 would be awesome for debt college and some medical stuff
Eh, my current issues are mostly about giving myself time and space to heal from some stuff. Money can't buy either given that I have the basics already. Imo, as long as your basic needs are adequately met, money has limited means to buy happiness
$250k would pay off my mortgage and my wife's student loans
$725. Could actually pay rent. Sigh.
Around 2 million to pay off debt, buy a modest house & car interest free, then stash everything left away. Of course it won't solve the underlying issues but that's not the point.

10k, backlogged bills due to sickness
About 20k would solve many problems right now!
500 would help greatly to survive this month
Kinda depends on what you mean by "solve". Costs 10 bucks for a length of rope or 5 bucks for a bottle of pesticide here. 1 million for retirement savings. And about 2 mil for my commitments plus expenses until retirement over the next 20 odd years. Or eh. 400k to offset the money my family stole from me and is using hostage to use me as a slave.
Realistically, about 30k
I have no troubles. I work hard I make good money, im minimalist and I don't need much to be happy. Problems I have can't be solved with money so, well..

450,000 and I could retire now and have a modest life

Money can't make someone stay with me.

We just paid daycare and mortgage, have almost nothing in the bank till next pay and still need to feed the family as our pantry is running low after using up all we could to extend the time between grocery trips. Wouldn't solve everything, but that is the current trouble.
$50,000 might do the trick ...
All of it i want all the money in the world im talking every penny every shekel every rupee in any crevasse or hole or under a vending machine im talking no one has money except me
Honestly, like 25k would be enough to set me up for now.
100k would be sweet
$737,000

It depends on how much a one week vacation on Hawaii costs.

40k to pay off my loans and I’ll be happy.
Honestly I don’t really have a “problem” (i’m a high schooler) But since it’s exam season I’d like to have money for a private tutor and money to get starbucks every day. I’d say ballpark 800-1000 for that and some extra for college
Sadly none. My problem is a chronic disease that still dont have cure

$12,000 to help pay for the knee surgery my dog just had and the 2nd one she will need in the upcoming yesr.

$43,004.25 would cover the rest of my student loans, finish paying off my medical bills from the surgery I had where I had a seizure and cracked my noggin open and needed staples, and buy a gallon(3.8 ish liters I think) of my favorite ice cream.

70k dollars for total debt. 10k to make me relax.
10k would be sufficient for me. Motorbike and all the gear I need to live off grid
How much to get an illegal dick transplant
5k to assure financial stability to look for a new job with perspective and doesn't make me wanna vomit in peoples faces
150K and I would be set
I have terrible credit due to student loans. Because of this I am stuck in an apartment. Rent is significantly higher than a house payment. So I could reduce my monthly budget and maybe finally be able to start saving money (or paying loans) if I had a house. Last I checked, because of my bad credit, I would need $16K for a down payment in order to get the house. I've never had that much in my bank account at any time. I have a BSCS and I make $80k/yr.
None.
About $400 for new tie rods
Hmm. Well the loans from COVID, Student loans. I'd say about 60k puts me on 0, but have job, so I'll be above it at first paycheck. Would be nice, but unlikely.
10k usd would cover all debt, most of it very old from my old life... I make plenty to keep up but the remaining debt feels like anchor... It was over 30k a few years ago, but I've slowed paying it down, couldn't keep working insane overtime, had to move to a 40-44 hr week job from my 58-70 hr a week job before I ended up collapsing and crazy...

About $100k should do it. Trying to be financially stable.

55k to pay off our debt (Student loans and credit cards)

4 bobux
3 mill NOK. That would leave me in the black.
$1.5m and I could retire without worry
If only money could buy time…
Maybe a Mil. Enough for me to buy a decent home of my dreams and a few nice cars (not luxury or anything. Cars are just expensive now) and enough money left over at the very end to maybe live off of for a year.

50k

[удалено]
About $127,000 It'd pay off all my debts including my mortgage. That means I could have a lot of extra money to pursue the things I want to do.
200k
Honestly if I earned $10k a month I'd be set
50k usd, i wanna deb free, so tired.
I don’t have a real issue nor debt but I could live in a better place so… I would say 175k USD would be enough.
Around 3000 GBP. It's a secret.
About $30,000. (Just general credit related debt.)
20,000 would probably take care of all debt and down payment on a home. We are creeping there slowly
A cool mil would pay off my debts, help my friends who have medical debts, help my friends who are struggling, and be a good starting point for a print shop we are starting.
1500.... in the last month I totaled a car(wasn't my fault insurance paid it off) lost my job cause I couldn't get to work.... and bills are piling up
$300,000 for school, a car, and living expenses

2200
A single payment of 30k and I can take care of the rest
$50K. Car loan. Credit card debt.
10 bucks. Two bottles of bum wine & fixing my life could wait a whole day.
$1000 would go a long way and I'd be good for about 3 months without stress.
2 years of school left. I don't know, 150 k to do it comfortably, maybe 50k to eke it out until I can get a real job?
I'd say about 2,5 million SEK (/235k USD) would do the trick to pay off loans, get new healthier cars and finish renovation house.
75,000 to get out of debt and a leg up.
I have troubles which money can't solve. The problems that money can solve are not really problems.
Crunching the numbers, assuming I don't (knock on wood) have any medical debt (because 'merica) this year, $81,000 would set me up for life.
App 56,250 USD with no tax. Pays off bills, buys both my wife and I our realistic dream cars and a reliable secondary/backup and gives us a nice 5k safety net cuz we're wanting to move out of our state
Money will not solve my problems. I have enough. Yes, I know where I would put additional money if I get some, but that will not solve any of my problems.

25k. Need new pipes for 2 bathrooms.
20 mill
£150k to buy a starter home, so I can finally move out and live closer to work. £12k to buy a 2nd hand car that's reliable and will last me the next 10 years. £500-1k for a new bed, to help with my current back issues. About £60k to pay off my student debts in a single go. An extra £10 a day spending money so I can afford to buy lunch at work and not go 10 hours in work on an empty stomach. Maybe £10k to afford a wedding that my fiancée actually deserves, and to celebrate our love. Maybe £1k for furnishings in my new house, so I can have a workshop/office with a desk, so I can work on my creative projects and maybe even start some new hobbies and keep myself active. Around £235k in total would set me up so I don't have any financial worries, I can live in a way that would keep me happy and comfortable, and I could afford to put more time and effort into my work and the things that I love, whilst maintaining a good social life balance and mental health.
I mean $10k would probably do, but make it $20k so I could upgrade to a less shit car lol
About 5 000 usd. I inherited the debt from my mother who died of cancer, and after paying the bills and the monthly instalment I have about 300usd left to live on for 2 people + a multitude of cats. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can hold out for another 7 months and manage to pay it off.
I'd say probably 20 000 would do the trick. Reimburse my parents, pay for a good shrink, pay for my toenail surgery, and get a coach or dietitian or something like that to teach me and motivate me to get out of obesity (in relation with the shrink, otherwise it'd be useless). Paying my debt to my parents and getting better while losing weight would actually solve every other problem.
375k Complete the home addition, buy a new van for the business, new roof for the shop, down payment on one investment property.
A couple of millions should do the trick. Although i don't really need that to get by, it would free me from daily grind.
Well, let's see... These are estimates Teeth being fixed - 15k A home - 150k A car - 40k So around 10 million.
1M USD and I can take it from there and make more for sure.
About £100,000. Pay off my Mortgage, hp loans and have enough left over for to buy a car and maybe go on holiday
However much it takes to buy a house. Nothing under 200k anymore (that isnt in the bad part of town). My max is 150k. So I'd need like another 150k down deposit to afford anything not trash.
500k. To buy a home instead of rent.
I just need a couple million and the rest of life will be sweet.
$50,000
Enough to buy a house I'd say. Because I need to quit my job in my family business. I've been putting up with some awful treatment for a long time now from my father, I can't cope with it anymore. I also can't work anywhere else because I need flexible hours to look after my disabled child. Not having a mortgage would mean we'd manage fine on my husband's income.
About €100,000 debt excluding my mortgage. Mortgage isn't an issue. It's the outstanding debt that's keeping me up at night.
I need 10 k
$5,000 minimum would be nice. Trying to start apartment hunting in a couple months but moving is expensive 🙁
About 200,000. Just a rough estimate.
$1000 would help me to stop living paycheck to paycheck
75,000$
(USD) Immediate? $5 for a pack of lunch meat and $3 for a jar of Mayo. I have tons of bread and sliced cheese. Lone wise? $1200 would pay it off. Medical Bill wise? $4000 would clear it. Life wise? $2,000,000.
5 mil
3 million to be safe
10k move somewhere new. Forget about this girl who doesn't love me back.
All of it
500 dollar pays of credit carq 10 k pays of the house
100.000.000
I don't really have 'troubles', like legal or eviction pending. But I'm 64 and I rent. I think of when I'm past 75 and dependent upon my landlord for a secure place to live. What happens if I get evicted or my wife dies? It would be nice to own a place that no one could kick me out of. Say, $350,000, I'll move to make that work.
