1. Keeping pets healthy is insanely expensive

It could very well be my largest discretionary expense. Of course failure to do everything recommended can lead to disaster (my SIL experienced that by bringing in a kitten that had feline leukemia - her other two cats were infected. She spends a considerable amount on medical treatments for her cats, but she thought that being indoor cats that they would not need the vaccination).

I love my two dogs and cat, but they are the last animals that I will assume responsibility for. Paying for the diabetes medication for my wife will be a higher priority.
