    “Rich person doesn’t understand how to save money!”

    Haha what a joker. Everyone knows you don’t go to the ER for lightheadedness. You gotta self medicate, use WebMD, and ride that wave until you can get seen by your grandmama, your buddy who’s a volunteer 1st responder, your friend’s wife who’s a nurse, or, if push comes to shove, the N.P. at the CVS Minute Clinic.

    You never go full E.R. Gotta clip those coupons.
