So here’s the dilemma one of my neighbors posed to me this past week: Let’s say you have cancer (or any disease will do), and you know your time on earth may be limited. Naturally, you want to spend as much time creating memories with your family as possible, right? But, being a cancer patient, the medical bills start piling up and health care costs start skyrocketing, so you are forced to cut corners and forgo luxuries. So where do you draw the line? You want to go places, maybe take a trip with your kids to somewhere that they’ll always remember, but how do you justify charging up your credit card for a beach and “quality time” when you’re having to cut your grocery bills? Do you do it? Can you put a price on creating a memory? Or do you just eat a lot of macaroni and cheese? Any thoughts?
