...pets.
People are going nuts spending on their animals. I know of young couples who truly can't afford their current rent/utilities/food/transportation yet are spending $6K to get their old dog's hip replaced!!! WTH!!
I put this in E & I purposely. SOMEbody is making big bucks on all this pet coddling.
Right now we are pet free, for two reasons; expense and time commitment. The kids are taking up enough of both. The pressure is on though, my wife and kids really want a new cat.
LM, we also are pet free ATM for the same 2 reasons.
Life without pets is no life at all :) just sayin'
Who meets you with a warm welcome when you let them out of the car boot after an hour? Any family member, or the dog?
The dog always forgives....
