I need a maintenance for my diabetes.

I am a retired teacher and I am diagnosed to have diabetes type 1. I am insulin-dependent yet I cannot afford the maintenance medicine my doctor prescribed me. I need a financial aid that could support my daily medications and other medical check-ups. Given the lack of sufficient money, I am notified by the doctor of complications if I don't take my medication.

No Name

There is a medical help given by the government that could provide the necessary medications and basic financial protection. In Singapore, the government offers various financial aid that could support their people specially the retired professionals and disabled persons. The future of the people in Singapore is indeed secured by their government.

There are countless models you can use to calculate the amount of money you need to retire comfortably in your golden years.

When people are retired they tend to relax, go on a vacation or even just spend money. They do not expect to be sick. In the situations of this security guard, he has cancer.
