Pets are definitely worth it! I cut costs by staying away from expensive toys and bedding. Usually you can make your own easily and they don't know the difference.
i absolutely think pets are worth the cost (and i know since we spent goodness-knows how much money on chemotherapy for my cat's lymphoma - it worked!). our pets have brought so much joy to our lives and to the life of my child. my cats are often the only ones who can bring my 2 year-old down from a temper tantrum, and that, to me, is worth A LOT! :)
we save money on our cat's healthcare costs by spending a lot on their food - consider it preventive care. we buy them the good stuff. we used to get the cheap stuff and it was causing problems (impacted anal glands - gross!).
I think there is value to these restaurants compared to local fare. Some of them offer 2 for $20 which includes an app and dessert...something you can't get at a local restaurant. Additionally, nothing can beat the dollar menu at a fast food restaurant. After buying the hamburger, bun, condiments, etc. its not worth the effort to go to the grocery store and cook the food...
i hope so! my wife and i just got a puppy. she grew up with dogs and has always been gung-ho about getting one, whereas, i on the other hand, have not dealt with any type of pet in my life (sans fish).
Our Craigslist fridge had instructions on moving it (that I found online). It could ONLY lie on it's back or preferably remain upright. Something about the oil in the compressor.
No way! Food, vet bills (my friend just paid 4K because their dog ate rocks), nasty hair and slobber, picking up poo, cleaning up poo and puke off the carpet, can't leave the house for any extended period of time w/o troubling friends neighbors or $$$ for boarding.
They can be cute and fuzzy, give you "love," but I'd rather invest my time and money in fellow humans.
I think pets are worth the cost if you have the money, but not everyone has it. I don't have money for a pet right now, so I pet sit instead! I get the happiness of a cat in my bed or a dog to walk, and I get paid for the pleasure!
Guest,
Is your pressure cooker aluminum? You should work on upgrading that on your next improvement. Also, the silicone, it has to be chemical and heat resistant. Usually it is one or the other, but seldom both. These will leach chemicals into your product. If you have too strong of product, don't forget to cut it. Don't need to give yourself alcohol poisoning. Enjoy the hobby, it's great.
OK, so final verdict: Bread made with flaxseed just will not rise to the heights of bread with eggs. (or egg replacer). I made the dough as before, with 2 tablespoons less water (to allow for humidity), 1/2 the salt (which tends to inhibit yeast growth), and I raised it manually for 1 hour, after which it plateaued on it's rise. Baked for 45 minutes, and it rose about the same as on the 80 minute cycle. Still tastes great, but if I want fluff, I gotta get the eggs, I guess!
I always do not spend money on something for a couple days. During that waiting period, I am able to truly make a wise decision and not buy something unnecessary.
I am motivated to save because I was brought up by parents who did not have anything. My mother was a saver but my father drank sand gambled so they did not have much. It motivated me to always save no matter how little I made and live on the rest. Right now the fear of not having money in retirement or for college or household repairs is daunting.
With only six years in the adult workforce, I am proud to report that our net worth is $8,000. Pretty great considering we have never made more than $23,000/yr, made only $11,000 last year, am currently on en route to make only $23,000 this year, own a car with no negative equity and only 43,000 miles on it, AND have a child...
I think we are doing pretty well for both being under 25. ;)
Net worth - probably the most important way to measure where exactly you're at financially at a given time, AND probably the most frustrating when you're first starting out! Hooray student loans! :)
The uncernity of the economy makes me save. You never know when you will loose your job or the prices will go up. It is getting tougher to take care of your family/

We love our dog. I think she is good for our kids. Plus, a great burglar deterrent!

I definitely think it's worth the cost. My dog shows me unconditional love and acceptance no matter what else is going on in my life.

Is having kids worth the cost? Of course it is!

Yes! My pets have helped keep me sane during my three years of unemployment/underemployment.

Of course they are! Money can't replace the good times that my dog and I have together.

I am shopping for a secured credit card right now. Orchard was recommended and sounds great (except for the annual fee).
Could you explain further what you mean by "The Orchard card... have a natural cap on the positive the contribute to a person's credit score."?

my husband and i just got married, but we want kids. that combined with wanting a place of our own motivates us both to save.

But how do you have the money to spend 17,000 a year with no income?
Same happened to me! Perhaps the Einstein that wrote this article should edit it
