    These people have to be prematurely senile if things like home repair
    and dental expenses are unexpected.

    And adding "vision care" to medical insurance is a waste. Medical
    vision care is already covered; an optometric exam is under $100 at
    Costco, and you can get good mail-order glasses for under $40. People
    who don't know this are probably victims in other financial areas too.

    One born every minute and two to fleece him.

    If I know that chaining yourself to a dead cow is stupid,
    how come Carly makes so much more money than I do?
