That's more literally true than you think.

My children nursed me back to health after doctor's wrote me off for dead. It's supposed to cost about $100k-$250k annually to treat my condition conventionally.

My oldest has the same condition. Between the two of us, that's up to a half million dollars per year.

We were diagnosed over 18 years ago. You can conservatively guess that my kids have been worth at least $1.5 million to me, and potentially more than $9 million.

(That's just the dollar value saved on treatment. You can put no price on the improvement in quality of life that I got out of it.)
