I am glad you are happy but it still doesn’t explain $50K on a one time event for a child. No matter WHAT the financial situation was at the time.
Like I said, I just don’t understand.
It doesn’t mean I am suggesting you have made any kind of “wrong” decision. It is just a decision I can’t understand.
I know where you are coming from. It’s a lifestyle choice. My wife and I are grateful we were able to do so well. We put away for college, retirement, unforeseen things.
My profession is usually recession proof. What is sad is the week the family was away, my cobra payment came due. Didn’t get home till after it was due. Losing cobra cost me close to 200k after my daughter got sick. I went to my company to plead my case and they told me to piss off. With my kids bills they were looking for any excuse to get me off the rolls.
Some of that I was ready for. Not all of it. Hence I am now 1000 miles from home trying to make enough to stop the hemmoraging. We wil continue to bleed until my wife gets better work.
On a good note, my present insurance covers my kid.
