My wife could earn a lot of money working the streets too but theres sensible and radical ways of doing things, I happen to prefer the sensible approach to life.
I know this sounds harsh and would always be an last resort. But getting out of debt and staying out of debt calls for sacrifice and mental conditioning. Pets can be an huge expense, so I use it as an extreme example.

BTW, getting rid of a pet does not mean euthanasia or dumping. Some people will spend thousands for healthcare while in extreme debt, these are those who do not need pets.
