Current Events > Do you think our grandparents generation spent much on pets?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Besides food, shampoo? Dont really picture them buying toys, as many vet visits, pet insurance, pet meds...etc. We love pets, theyre our friends, family, but it's also another added expense (if you have a pet) that keeps our generation from saving money. What I mean is our gen treats pets as their children and that incurs on more expenses that previous gens didnt for the most part.

Im just seeing all the financial audit shows and see all these expenses that our parents and grand parents didnt have. All the subscription services, cellphone, internet...etc. All of this in addition that most salaries dont catch up with inflation. We're really set up to fail unless you make a lot of money or live a very frugal lifestyle.
