What does it mean to live hand-to-mouth or from paycheck to paycheck? It’s not always the big decisions, but the kinds of things that those with money never think about because they don’t have to make these choices.
Got a scrape, scratch or dent on the side of the car? Notice a rust spot starting on the roof? Stupid sensor light keeps coming on when you know there isn’t a problem? As long as the car is running maybe getting it fixed isn’t that important even though it would look nicer or feel better to drive or possibly last longer.
People need maintenance too that ends up getting deferred or ignored. If I didn’t have to worry about money, maybe I would’ve stayed with my doctor of two decades when he went boutique. Maybe I would’ve kept up with the grief counseling or gotten treatment for depression. Maybe the painful swelling in my ankles would be addressed by laser surgery on the veins in my legs instead of being told to wear support hose. Maybe I would go to a dermatologist for these pesky rashes rather than being given a cream. Maybe I would’ve stayed with my dentist of many years when they stopped accepting insurance and kept up with annual cleaning and my gums would be in better shape.
Fact is? When the first question you have to ask when discussing treatment for non-life threatening issues is how much it costs and how much the insurance will cover, you face the reality that it doesn’t make any difference what is available, you get the best care you can afford. And yes, it impacts the quality of life and potentially the length of life as well.
