6. My dogs have had 2 major vet bills over the past year.

First Bert got heartworm and the treatment was $800. Three months later, both dogs found a porcupine. We quill removal for two dogs was $2500. Vets won’t see you unless you can pay for your visit at time of visit, which is fucking ridiculous. I’m couldn’t afford my car insurance so lost it for a month; cost to get it reinstated was about $1200, also had to be paid up front in cash, and doubled my monthly car insurance bill to $400/mo, which is twice what I was paying before the vet bills. I don’t have credit cards so all of this comes straight from my bank account. It’s bullshit I’m punished for not using credit. This country hates poor people.
