#32: Health Crisis
Because America doesn’t have any kind of socialized or centralized health care, we are each on our own to provide for our own health care. Health care costs here can also be through the roof. This means that a single hospital visit can really hit you hard financially.

So, all jokes aside, let me be a personal finance nerd for a minute here: if you possibly, possibly can, get health insurance! And on top of that, you need to have an emergency fund! I know it would be great if the responsibility didn’t fall entirely on our shoulders, but it does, so please do something to prepare for future medical emergencies.
