72. you're probably right
and that excess optimism could go a long way to explain how they got into this mess.

2 kids are great? lets just keep going. more kids is better.

bad results on amnio? we'll work through the problems. our love for our child and reverence for life will carry us through.

lost a home and ruined our credit? we'll just buy another one...we can always "rent to own." then when the real estate market comes back, we'll be ahead of the game.

I also think people in DU, or at least in this thread, put waaaaay too much faith in health insurance. Realistically, even with health insurance, cancer can wipe you out.
