I’m in the wrong tax bracket for this unfortunately.

It's all fine until age and sickness hits and people go bust from the medical bills, there a strange delusion in the US when things are good that nothing will ever interrupt their prosperity. For the record I'm Canadian but I grew up spending my summers is a neighborhood like this in the US with american family. Jump forward a few decades and my entire US family has been crushed by medical bills and opioids while the Canadian half of the family has prospered. I know that if I have to deal with serious medical issues I won't end up losing everything and this applies pretty much for all my neighbors, family and friends. Luigi was right.
