You know.. I’m just saying... anyone who can’t come up with a spare 200 or 400 dollars..... I mean these people shouldn’t even be allowed to vote. Even half decent decision making should allow a person to save 400 bucks.
Sometimes it’s NOT bad decision making...sometimes it is just life.
We had crushing medical bills after my husband spent 9 days in CICU and two weeks total in the hospital after a 100% blockage of his LAD and emergency stent surgery. He came home w/a laundry list of name brand meds (Plavix and Lipitor weren’t genetics back then—plus other meds for diabetes, blood thinners etc). We had two out of college, 1 in college, our daughter getting married, and boys still at home. A mortgage and older cars (that need more maintenance).
We were “savers” and THATS how we got (sort of) thru THAT life crisis; wedding was cut back (and the kids and his parents paid for most—we couldn’t at that point); and additional loan was taken out for college son (and one of the younger boys is now in college w/unavoidable loans).
I could go on and on...but sometimes a life crisis can occur and recovering (financially) is near impossible. You tread water pay to pay... And it’s remarkable what you learn to do with out. And once you find yourself there...you recognize how and why OTHERS can be in the same situation.
Most of the welfare queens spend that much a month on hair and nail appointments.
