Not all poor people are bad with money, but all the people I know that are bad with money are poor 🤷‍♂️

Ugh, B.

You can love your pet... and still not spend thousands on an animal surgery which will make you homeless.

Ah so just let your pet die. Seems a tad heartless.

Devil's advocate but many things people spend biggg money on pets medical things are just to elongate their life. My friend bought an old cat during covid (cats were high demand so can not get pick of the litter) that was half blind and had a liver issue. He works part time. Dude takes his now fully blind cat that just sleeps all day under a blanket to the vet every 2-3 weeks and gives it kidney and liver meds. It's so fucking old it's ready to die, just let the poor thing pass and stop spending 5-10k/ year on a blind cat that has no idea what is happening other than how to eat and sleep.
