Re: Cost of Pets
Our only pets are fish, and they cost us very little. Occasional filter changes and a canister of flake food that lasts for months. Maybe $50/year tops (plus electricity to run the tank).
But I know what you mean. I know a number of people who live paycheck to paycheck and can't ever seem to get ahead, but think nothing of having multiple pets. One person I know got divorced and had one cat. Even though finances were pretty tight, she soon got a 2nd cat and then a 3rd. Whenever we saw her, she invariably had some story about how much she was spending on vet bills. She just didn't get that if she didn't keep adding pets to the family, she'd have a lot more money for necessities.
