As a finance nerd, it challenged me to choose non HDHP plans, but ultimately that’s what made me feel psychologically safer (vs financially optimized) as I age. Great read!
This was an awesome read Audrey! I used to have a high deductible plan as well and even if I had trouble with my ears and went to see a specialist it would be a crazy bill I’d have to pay back monthly. Adjusting my budget a bit and switching to another plan helped me a lot. Plus, it encouraged me even more to make sure I’m eating healthy and remaining active. It’s not a fix all, but it helps.💪💪❤️
I relate to this a lot. My physical health is very good, but my mental health struggles. My High deductible plan made me reluctant to go to therapy( $$$$), but I really needed to. I’m now meeting with a therapist weekly and blowing through HSA money, but it’s worth it. Also just not how I expected to use it.

Thank you Khadejah! That’s encouraging to hear- I think I will be doing the same thing :)
