That def. was big for me although I paid my mom when I got back on her plan it allowed me to pay less.The big thing is really insurance.
When I graduated college it was $330+ for COBRA health insurance part. I was able to get a Blue Cross Blue Shield policy with a referral price that was about $100 (fairly similar coverage) and kept dental and eye as separate coverages because the price wasn't too bad per month, a year after that ACA went into effect so I went back onto my mom's plan for 1 year paying her, then went onto my employer's plan the subsequent year.
I always hated that part about pre-ACA. Like okay it's awesome I graduated college but then 2 weeks later getting a notice you're being kicked off health, eye and dental was really hard especially when it was just about a year after The Great Recession technically ended. The aftereffects were still very much around especially in the job market.
