          At public universities, tuition fees for Bachelor’s and Master’s programs typically range from €1,000 to €1,500 per academic year for EU/EEA students.

        I don’t even live in the US, but based on the stories I’ve read, I guess it only takes one nasty accident leading to hospitalisation. Is that not a possible scenario?

          It’s absolutely possible. Though if you try reaaally hard and talk to the right people you can get that reduced significantly.

          Which, btw, should be the default.

        I had a seizure and got a 100K medical bill for less than a week of stay

        It cost $20K to fix the plumbing in my house. Didn’t want to put it on a credit card, so instead took out a 0% loan. I’ll be done paying it off in November. That’s $20K in debt in one day.

          But you already have a house! You’re at least 3 years ahead of anon!

            It was financing through the plumbing company, so I guess not a true loan in that sense 😬 Sorry for the confusion!! They just gave us 2 years to pay off the balance interest free.

        It’s pretty easy if you just don’t have a job
