Some friends of ours are having trouble keeping bills paid now, since the wife has become sick with Crohns disease.  There are many hospital bills and things that they have to pay, plus meds that she needs.  They had to get rid of some of the things they’ve had for years, such as Cable, extra phone line for the children, internet and life insurance. There are a few of those that would be difficult for me to live without. What about you? Could you live without cable or the internet?? The life insurance would be tough, too.
