Managing a budget...

Clearly this link below is suggestive of many in this country. They got that way with no fault of their own and just have to deal with it. Of course having a child with a chronic illness is burden no one wants but never-the-less they do. It basically shows anyone can be a paycheck away from real downfall. Medical or health insurance/expenses have become such a way of life in the USA, that one wonders how we support this system unlike other countries that have already moved on the providing care for their people. Not to cause some social rift, but I see these people in the article so much like my neighbors.

Compared to my own life, I could practically check-off the same boxes as these people minus some differences. What do you think of the move from Az. to Or.? -----Willy Happy
