The reality check is, that statement is like saying I’m not taking my car to the mechanic until there’s smoke seeping from the hood. Nobody does that. Our cars get check ups, oil changes, tire rotations etc. You don’t just ride until the wheels fall off.

And waiting until the last minute to die from something that could have been addressed, prevented, or treated a long time ago shouldn’t be reserved to those with wealth in 2022.
