[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Yes they have two special needs kids, but that did not seem to be the bulk of their expenses when the reporter asked about it (and i understand state and county programs are pretty good in this area for funding special therapy/school.)  She did describe some medical expenses leading to a bankruptcy.

Your fortunate to have a healthy family, op. Appreciate your good fortune and stay off the internet about it (because you sound like a real asshat).[/quote]

+1 Honestly, she sounds beleaguered and grateful and probably like she was downplaying the cost of her kids' disabilities. Two kids with severe nonverbal autism? Multiple major hospitalizations? G-d knows that my finances wouldn't survive that, and I'm a highly educated white collar professional with decent money sense. As for the county services being "pretty good,"  you know nothing. It takes YEARS to get the county to pay for a therapeutic placement, often while parents pay out of pocket.

Be grateful for what you have, OP, and stop judging people whose lives are much harder than your own.
