    Alrighty, lets see. Based on 3 minutes of research, the average US worker earns A THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS a week. I earn about 1100$ a month and dont even flinch paying out my antidepressant.

    What the fuck do you spend your money on?

      How much does your antidepressant cost?

        I still cant understand how it computes. What antidepressant did you take that it was so irreplacable and costly?

        Yeah, therapy must be very costly, though that is free for me. Though I thought in the US you could get prescribed months in advance, even perpetually. Dont need to get appointment monthly or so.

          To get a therapist in the states often requires a waiting list, which can take several months. Often, they don’t take your insurance, which means an appointment could be anywhere from $100-$300+. The cost of medication also varies widely based on whether insurance covers it or not. A generic medication covered by insurance might be <$10, but medical prices in the US are a complete shell game and it could be much more, depending on how evil your insurance feels like being today.

          Also, average income is a poor representation of income due to massive income inequality. Median is a more appropriate measure. I am a college educated professional and make about $2200/month after taxes. I know very few people who make $1000/week. Maybe do more than “3 minutes of research” on a topic.
