[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Single parents, I feel for you, that makes it so much harder -- but I would always cut frills (like pets) over carrying debt. Things like pets, vacations, and cable are luxuries, but everyone expects to be able to have them." Our pets are beloved members of the family, hardly frills or luxuries. They cost a grand total of $30 per month.[/quote] I have friends whose dogs and cats needed expensive surgery and/or medication (in the thousands of dollars), which is something most people forget when they budget for pets. I also take issue with considering pets to be family members if one is so deeply in debt that actual human family members would not be able to have adequate food, shelter, or education due to their care. They are wonderful but they are not human nor should they be considered equal to one's children when the time comes to provide for your family. I say this as someone who owned pets for most of my life.[/quote]
