A couple weeks ago my cousin was posting on facebook her rant about not being able to afford medical care. The problem is that she was posting from some kind of gamer’s convention on the other side of the country.
She can’t afford medical care but can afford a flight across the country and a motel room so she can play dress up at nerdfest for a week.
Yeah, people are like that. I’ve known people who “can’t afford” $600 a month for medication. Understandable. That’s a lot of money. But a closer look at their habits reveals that they can afford full cable, fine wines, weekly shopping sprees, lunch ordered out 5 days a week, 2 evenings out every weekend, designer clothes, manicures, pedicures, vacations out of the country, on and on and on. It’s almost like they think that everything they NEED should be provided, so that they are free to spend their money on what they WANT.
