    Oh, and the family is forced to pay the medical bills, even though they asked to let her die peacefully.

      If the daughter is older enough, sounds like it’s her/her estates debt. Not her parents, unless they were unfortunate enough to be manipulatrd into assuming responsibily.

            I’ll just keep buying second hand cars. My current car is 20 years old, bought it when it was 10 years old and it’s still going. Put away $20 a week or whatever you would have been paying on the loan and you’ll always have a fund to get something. Treat it like a loan too, you can’t pull money out of the loan you’ve been paying, so don’t touch this money either unless for the most dire of emergencies.

              This is the way to do it. It’s just not worth the financial struggle if you’re the kind who would be impacted by a new car.

              It also means it’s much easier to afford to replace the vehicle if it’s becoming a money pit, and you don’t sweat a small scratch.

              And good for the environment!

        medical bills aren’t forced on the family that I’ve ever heard. they may try, but until you fuck up and say it is your responsibility by paying even a Tylenol bill, its not. my dad had over 6million twenty years ago lawyers are helpful.
