Just make sure you don't get sick.

At that income level and in a blue state, there might actually be pretty good health coverage.

I've got a relative who lost his job last year, his wife gave birth in Long Island soon after and they paid pretty close to nothing.

"Pretty close to nothing" can still an absolutely massive expense when you are living on 1/4 the pay as others in more urban and prosperous areas though.
