RE: The More Money, and Things That we Acquire The More we Want.
Yes, for me to be satisfied with what I have. Instead of buying buying buying we could save save save as the rainy day always comes. Not too long ago my battery died and I noticed that it is an old battery now. It seemed like I just bought it, but no it even has the date of manufacture. Time goes by fast I guess. It so happened that I could pay for the battery as I usually save $20 a month for car repairs. I would like to save $50 a month for car repairs, but $20 a month is good for now.
Yes I struggle still financially and am in debt so I understand but also am trying to stow away a little nest egg. I managed to save $1500 and am investing it into a really nice PC for my work and then I want to build up rainy day fund. Like, if my kitty gets sick I need money to make her better ya know? Or if steemit earnings go way down I need to plan for how to make more rent at home being disabled so I want like 4 months of rent secured. :) Aside from that I don't want too many things. I like buying used books about once a month but that's usually about $12
Yes my cat got sick and I know that the vets charge $300 to $400 easily which I don't have. I just studied my cats breathing and looked up congested lung cause that is what she sounded like she had. Then that lead me to congested heart cause a congested heart will cause a congested lung. Well I did find a medicine that is more alternative and the reviews were good. So I bought it over the net. It was under $50. I thought my cat was going to die soon by the way she was breathing before the medicine, but now after I give my cat 2 doses a day in her wet cat food she actually sounds better. She still has breathing problems, but she doesn't sound like she is going to die soon like when she was really bad.
Oh no...I hope you're cat will end up okay. :'( Maybe eventually you will get to a vet also.
I had problems where I had to try alternative stuff too when my cat got bad worms from living with other cats that had fleas and I tried that diatamaceus earth or whatever in her wet food while making sure she was extra hydrated. It didn't work so I ended up having a friend who is an animal caretaker fix her up for me. <3 I was so lucky. Now I find myself wanting to take Mouse for a check up just to verify that she is healthy since she's about to be like 9 and I have had her since she was teeny tiny.
Yes, maybe a vet later on. I am pretty sure my cat will be ok. My other cat Sheba that I had from 1997 to 2008 had worms when I first got her. I couldn't figure out an alternative for that. So I did take her to the vet for the worms and that worked. In 2008 I inherited a cat called Lucky from my friend Michele that passed away that year. I would take Lucky to the vet. Lucky was getting old and had a hard time doing his number 2. In those days I was still working for AT&T (before my office closed and I retired in 2010) and would spend any amount of money on Lucky. I just wanted Michele to know I was taking care of her cat. In those day I had a few times of $300 visits. Sheba died in I think Sept of 2008 and Lucky died in October of 2008. Lucky was I believe about 17 years old. The bad thing about me inheriting a cat is that Sheba didn't like Lucky.
