Actually I live on $30 a week and I have a family of four – a dog and my kids do activities. My daughter does competitive cheerleading and that itself is $3K a year (not including travel). All I had to do was what my grandmother had taught me. Heck, I actually survive on $30 bucks a week for the family.

For many years, this man’s wife and family lived near poverty after the Grandfather died of this disease. Many years later, one of her daughter’s husbands helped her apply for it – just a few years before her death in her 80’s. We have a family cemetery in which I hope both my spouse and I are buried.

In the back of my mind, with everything that went on, I thought to myself, what would my grandmother do? I got $333.33 back due to him not needing xrays. Another expense.
