Maybe I'll just move to Aberdeen.

When I worked for Boeing.
I worked at the Everett office.
Lived on camano island.

(For non Washington folks, that’s 70 miles away)

I live in Bremerton.
$1400 for a 2 bedroom apartment.
3 roomates.

Aberdeen is like $500, and near the coast. I'm like eh... I dunno. It's tempting. Then again with the benefits I'm getting from working at this grocery store, maybe I move to Vancouver Wa and work there? Dunno. Choices.

(I hear they're paying $20 an hour for picking grapes in Northern California though.

I rent out a 2,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom stick built house with garage for $950.

There is another way.

There are grocery stores everywhere. Why in the hell would you choose to live in the middle of an expensive city if you work in a grocery store??

What circuit breakers in your brains have been pulled that you don't see the problem here?

The benefits are ridiculous.

I bet I have better health insurance than anyone here.

If I stay here for five years and get promoted to full time, that's 25/hr.

With ESOP as well, someone just retired a millionaire. (1.5 is what she told me before she left.)

I pay $30 a month for 20/80 insurance with max payout for me is like 1k. Somone had a family member get sick, spent time in a hospital and bill came out to be 104k. They paid $940. Just went and got a brand new pair of glasses, everything together including eye exam was $10. Doctor visits? $20. Got prescriptions and dental cards as well.

I thought about going other places or trying to advance my skills, but with benefits this good? I dunno man. Still in school anyways, getting more skills and they're encouraging it, willing to work with me and I get 40hr a week, paid sick leave (which is Washington mandated, 1hr every 40 hours worked), got a week of paid vacation in a month on my 1yr anniversary.

And my bosses aren't assholes, which is nice.

I have a friend that lives over there
Works at a car wash
I have no idea why

Few reasons. It's beautiful. Just plain beautiful. I'm looking out my window right now and dyam. The weather is nice, sure it's overcast a lot of the time but still, weather is real nice. Nerd capitol of the world, you throw a stone and you'll hit a D&D group, they're everywhere. I definitely like living here, except ofc for the SJW infestation, but besides that, with decent roommates, it's a real nice place to live.

What are you, 35?

What kind of health insurance do you think you need?

Run four days per week, do strength exercises three to four days per week, and eat whole foods. There ain't no better health insurance than that.

Staying in an untenable situation because of your "health insurance" really smacks of a rationalization to avoid facing some cognitive dissonance of some kind.

I don't live in Seattle. Live about 17 miles out of it.

And it's a nice place to work while I go to school.
