Just sit down do the math and figure out how much you have to pay off on a regular basis to get rid of it

Hell, I'll do it. Medical debt has low APR. it's likely you'll pay around $5000 when all's said and done.

5000/365 = $13.69

Can you pay $13.69 every day for a year? Can you pay $95.89 every week? What can you cut out of your budget? Do you eat fast food? Starbucks?

Don't get depressed over a number if it doesn't mean anything. Use it as an excuse to eat more vegetables. you can pay it over 3 years. A lot of people have debt like that in their car. I owe $4000 in car debt, I'm not depressed about it. Though it is bullshit that you were charged that much. Only in America.

I get nothing right now. Zip, nada in income. But even when I was working, I always spent well below my means. Eating healthy, etc. even working a shitty job I think maybe it was 11 an hour? Cant remember. But I knew how to budget like a madman.
