I spend all last night researching where in the US would be the likely first target of a nuke and how much an effective bomb shelter would cost to build. I know this probably isn't healthy but this guy has 6,000 nukes and I don't trust the Media that he's "bluffing."

Good reason to be.
The cabal that runs America and the West are insane
You're going to make yourself sick worrying like this. Enjoy life. Accept we have very little control over things and focus on the positives. 6,000 bombs hit us...would you really want to live through the aftermath? You might want to talk with a therapist. Good luck.
World War 3 will be fought with cyber warfare and nukes... the next war after that will be fought with primative weaponry from many centuries ago.
You need to give credit.
Albert Einstein is often quoted as having said: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones".
The most recent Ukrainian advance raises the hopes that the Russians can actually be beaten on the battlefield. But can’t Putin escalate? We’re now at a point where the Biden administration is offering Russia stern warnings not to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
I do remember duck and cover drills, but never gave them much thought. This is just the first time we have been in a major proxy war with Russia. I was born after the Korean War (1950-1953), Congo Crisis (1960-65), Vietnam War (1955-1975), Cambodia (1967-1975), and I don't remember much about Angola. Our involvement in Syria was fairly limited (more pronounced under Obama, Trump pretty much pulled us out completely). We are the major funder of the war in Ukraine, which puts this war in a different light.
Whenever the progressives claimed that Trump would be responsible for - blank - they were thinking of doing what they claimed or were actively doing it. Russia collusion? Hilary did it not Trump. Nuclear war? Not Trump, but probably the bunch in power right now.
Good luck. I did the nuclear attack drills in school. I really don't care at this point.
I started school in 1966. The duck and cover drills stopped a year or two before. I always felt cheated that I did not have that experience.
I started kindergarten in 1963. We had "duck and cover" drills, but since I grew up in California they called them earthquake drills. In fact ducking under your school desk makes a lot of sense in an earthquake. It's not gonna do much good in a nuclear war.
Russia knows that it cannot use its nukes. If Russia launched a nuclear attack on a NATO country, it would just take two hits on Russia to effectively end the country. Russia is largely a rural country. Most of Russia's government and commerce are concentrated in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Then, there are about a dozen medium sized cities with a million to 1.5 mil people. If Russia strikes NATO with nuclear weapons, the response just has to take out Moscow and St. Petersburg and then Russia will effectively cease to exist and will revert to a few dozen provinces with no central government. The only way Russia could possibly avoid a counter strike is to launch a massive attack against every NATO nuclear power. But that kind of attack would trigger a nuclear winter and radiation from strikes on Western Europe would end up on Russian soil, poisoning crops and causing cancer across western Russia.

I guess it makes sense that I was more frightened of nuclear war back during the Cuban Missle crisis than I am now: I had more to lose. And I better understand now how things work, and how humankind has collectively brought this—and a boatload of other imminent crises about. Pick one.

I lived through The Cold War and the Soviet nuclear threat. Here are my tips:
1. Live your life! You never know when your last day is going to happen.
2. Don't worry about "surviving" an all out nuclear war. The dead will be the fortunate ones. If you build a foolproof bomb shelter, stock it right, and manage to emerge a year later, there will be nothing to emerge to.
3. If you live in a major target area, it will be over in a literal flash. When the sirens blare, grab a good stiff drink, smoke a big ol' spliff, or make love to someone you truly care for. Go out on a high note.
