    • A common insurance co-pay to see a Primary Care Physician (regular family doctor) is $40. That could mean going to the doctor or not for some folks.

    • $20 would pay for five different 30 day prescriptions of common generic prescription drugs.

    • $25 ($5 short) would buy more than a month’s worth of insulin.

    • $20 will by 35lbs or rice. That’s well over 2 weeks worth of meals (at 2000 calories a day).

    • $20 will pay for one month of mobile phone service with unlimited talk and text along with 4GB of data (as well as hotspot functionality)

    • $20 would pay for 100 full charges on a very large ebike battery. Thats enough to go 7500 miles of range on average.

      Yeah, but it would make a marginal if almost unnoticeable dent in any bills I’m actually stressed/worried by.
