Actually, SororitySarah and I were having that exact conversation the other night about financial difficulties only existing when they're convenient for the writers but otherwise they are written off with "stylish yet affordable" jokes. Of course, the Human Services apparently don't work in any semblance of reality in the Whedonverse either... but that's a whole other rant that will be forever swimming about in the darkest corner of my soul.
I get that Joyce was self-employed and maybe didn't have the most or best life insurance, but surely she had some plus medical (maybe I'm being naive because I know a lot of people who have neither) because it just seems unlikely that she had enough life insurance to cover medical bills from brain surgery and a funeral... yet had no medical insurance at all to cover the former? Also, where in God's name was Hank Summers? Hello, non-existent Whedonverse child support! *head-desk*
