<prompt> Human: Reddit, I hate my job. Absolutely hate. Im miserable for 40-45 hours a week. I feel depressed on weekdays because Im dreading going back to work the next morning so much. I struggle to get out of bed in the morning. Weekends and vacation days are my only solace.The thing is, it pays well enough - I currently make 11.77hour equivalent to about 25kyear and it has health, vision, and dental insurance. I live in Indiana so this is a good living wage for me - live alone, no family or kids to take care of. I have about 2,000 in savings right now but I contribute about 100 more to it every month.I recently picked up a part-time minimum-wage job to supplement my full-time job - its 10-20 hours a week at 7.25hour.I also just interviewed for a new job that pays 12hour but is only 30 hours a week and also has no health, vision, or dental insurance.It sounds like I will like this job much more than my current one, but Im just not sure if I can get by after the pay cut. Also, Ive never been without insurance before and the thought terrifies me.Here are my monthly expenses - these are all required to a varying degree I know I can cut out internet, for exampleRent: 462monthElectric: 70Internet: 46Phone: 35Car loan: 150Car insurance: 50College loans: 242Gas: 30Living expenses Food, netflix, spotify, random necessities: 100I am moving in August to a cheaper place so my rent is going to decrease to 325month yay! and my electric and internet bills will decrease considerably as well, Im sure, since Ill have roommates and well be splitting the cost three ways.Other details: My school loans are currently at 16,600, again I have 2,000 in savings, and also 500 on a credit card with a 3,500 credit limit. Im 26 and have a Bachelors Degree in English.I just have no idea how to weigh my financial security and health insurance against being absolutely miserable at my current job :Assistant: I personally dont think there is any amount of money that is worth it if you are depressed day-in and day-out. And if such an amount exists, 11.77 per hour isnt it.Going without health insurance is not good, but youre a young person and if youre healthy you could probably find an affordable emergencycritical care insurance to bridge and pay for your annual stuff OOP. Your ultimate goal should be finding a full-time position of course, but if you can do that within a year it might not be a bad idea.Human: I am young and healthy. I dont go to the doctor much, and I only have one prescription birth control, which I can get affordably through Planned Parenthood if I lose my insurance, luckily. I guess what Im worried about is the slim chance of an emergency, something I couldnt foresee or prevent, like a broken bone or a car accident, which can rack up a huge amount of debt very quickly :Assistant: 24yr old buddy slipped in his driveway and tore his femorsp muscle from his knee. No insurance, bills are pushing a hundred thousand bucks... Id rather hate my job and have insurance than deal with the stress of that kind of debt. Just be real proactive in finding a better job WITH insurance if you can. Shit can happen to anyone at anytime.Human: Exactly. Thats why being without insurance terrifies me : Ive heard too many horror stories like this. Its not uncommon.  <response>: Buy your own health insurance. Cost starts at about 100 month.
