Don't you just hate it when a plan DOESN'T come together?

Couple are told man had terminal cancer, and so they go on a spending spree -- then are told they were mis-diagnosed.
Now they're broke.
(I think I saw a movie along this line.)

Bucketlist sends couple broke

It's just money, you can always make more. Experiences can't be raplaced.

I keep wondering what the woman planned on living on, once the old man was dead. Maybe she figured she'd go with him?

At 69 and 65, it can be pretty difficult to reconstruct a life. Tough to make a living as a Walmart Greeter.

Ummm... WalMart doesn't have greeters any more, at least around here. Now, Sam's Club - that's a different story! And, since employees can buy cat food by the case...... :shock:

If this happened in the U.S., the couple would sue the doctors and get a million dollars. With their settlement, the couple would celebrate and buy some really good drugs and OD. -30-

they were counting on the guy's life insurance to pay off all the bills and leave here with money to live on.
