Highland is seeing more and more people like this woman, who has just lost her job and has no insurance.
Every Man for Himself
“We just don’t have enough doctors, or maybe there are just too many patients.”
Sugar and Cigarettes
“I went from a Harley-Davidson and a Lexus to a rusty, old 1975 van. I’ve had to downsize everything.”
Fatherhood
“There’s a lot of people who are worse of than we are. Those are the people we need to care about too.”
Next time you make a major purchase like this, think tghnis through. I guess this means that you also don’t have at least 3 months of living expenses saved up on the side. What would happen if you got sick and couldn’t work for a while? Actually next time you make a small purchase, think through that too.I don’t want to come off sounding mean, although I don’t think I succeeded, but there are so many people in backwards situations like this. I was once there too. A little financial literacy will go a long way.
