Sure I spend way more than I want to on health insurance and very rarely use it, but it's a security blanket for me. Being a clumsy person with weird aliments makes having health insurance a necessity!<br /><br />And options!

Sounds like Dave Ramsey :) I would add that, up to a point, money can buy health--the ability to go to the dr, keep up on check ups, medications, purchase healthy foods.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121808186510160023.post-54596905937916286702010-08-21T14:58:38.529-05:002010-08-21T14:58:38.529-05:00Thank-you so much for the encouragement, Mogul!

He actually has often thought about starting a service-related business, and we are currently involved in marketing healthy products for people, planet, and pets, but selling is much harder than anticipated. Peoples' habits of unconsciously purchasing everything at Walmart are difficult to break (especially in Michigan).

Now he has nothing to lose.

I'm a prime example of why planning ahead is super important. We were moving along quite smoothly and living well, but my husband lost his job in January 2009 due to a plant closing and has been unable to find work for the past 20 months.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569075737212451430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121808186510160023.post-69479334071317384752010-08-20T16:52:35.224-05:002010-08-20T16:52:35.224-05:00I agree 100% with the list.
