Buy your insurance

Someone shared this perspective with me today.

An elderly lady over 70 plus has to do an urgent surgery. She had to pay close to 40k for surgery at a private hospital. Insurance premiums for older folks are more expensive, they may cost close to 10k per year for private hospitals. 

Even if you pay close to 10k per year, it's still worth it as you get a sense of confidence and security from knowing your loved ones will get to see the doctor as quickly as possible and be given the best treatment possible.

It got me thinking. Best to take care of yourself right now. Wherever you are, however you are. So you do not need to be in the hospital taking the time of someone else who may need the doctor's time more.

It's from Kurt Vonnegut and the full quote reads:  "And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is." inserts face holding back tears emoji  🥹   I urge you to find these moments in your life too, and share them with me! Sending love, kindness and light, Bree
