Interesting story - probably fake - but it illustrates the point that rich people probably think differently than most of the rest of us. They're always thinking and looking for ways to maximize their money. My post today is about maximizing your spending when it comes to health care products.

Zyrtec (allergy medication)
90 tablets - 10 mg
Drugstore.com - $198.41 (prescription required)
CanadaPharmacy.com - $34.00 (over the counter, generic)
My co-pay on this drug is $30.00. That means that even with my health insurance, I'm going to spend $90.00 over 3 months to get 90 pills (30 pills per month). Or, I can buy from Canada and get 90 pills for $34.00.
Here's another example:
Protonix (acid reflux medication)
90 tablets - 40 mg
Walgreens.com - $346.79 (prescription required)
CanadaPharmacy.com - $75.00 (over the counter, generic)
Again - my copay for three months is going to be $90.00. Or I can buy 3 months worth for $75.00 from Canada. This is WITH insurance. If you don't have insurance or your insurance has higher co-pays, you should absolutely not buy another drug until you calculate what you could be saving.
It doesn't just work for prescription drugs either. Many pet products that are really expensive and require a vet prescription are sold over the counter in Canada for a fraction of the cost. You can really save a ton of money and it's legal and easy!
Here are two companies I've used in the past that are reputable and offer good service/prices:
