DID YOU KNOW?
That when you Google “Top causes for bankruptcy”, Medical/Hospital Expenses will always be one, if not the number one, in every list? Go check it out.
Yes! It does not refer to those minor illnesses, but to those critical ones like CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, TUMOR, etc.
You see, the cost of a single critical illness can wipe out a middle class individual’s life savings, worse, force him to liquidate whatever he has.
And surprisingly, there are even those who are earning six-figures in Pesos a month who died of critical illness and still left a seven-digit hospital bill for their family and friends to take care of.
The bottomline is, we are not sickness-proof, and definitely not immortals. At the end of the day, money will be needed for our treatment when we get diagnosed with any of those serious sickness. Money will be needed for our funeral. Money will still be needed by our dependents when we pass on.
Our legacy should be of love, not of debts. Right?
