Okay… this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but if you’re struggling financially, and trying to save money, don’t keep pets. The amount of money spent on food, toys, hygiene, the vet, etc. can add up quickly. I mention this because I have a relative who struggles hard financially. It blew my mind that while she was struggling to pay for basic necessities, she kept multiple cats. I swear she paid more money on them than almost anything else, and then constantly complained that she was broke. If you’re an animal lover, maybe volunteer at your local shelter, or turn your passion into a pet sitting business or something. That way you get your animal fix without spending money you don’t have.

I partly agree, however I kinda think it also depends on when you got the pet. If you struggle, don't get a pet. If you get a pet when you are financially stable and then down the line start to struggle I think you still have a responsibility to the pet though. I used to dumpsterdive for my own food to save money for my dogs kibble, and that was a _huge_ motivator to pivot and improve my life. Now we are both better off. My take is if you are thinking of getting a pet and can't afford insurance and putting money away for an EMF for your pet: you can't afford a pet. The pet will be cheep when it's young, but pets age _fast_ , you need money put aside. If you can't afford to, or feel like, prioritising that, don't get one. Once you get a pet they deserve your commitment.

It's normal for everyone just to get a dog or a cat nowadays because reasons, when they are still studying or doing odd jobs. A dog lives 9-13 years and cats can live up to 20, it should be considered a big commitment and those people who "can't afford" insurance are the ones who really need it as eventually some health issues will come up, are they just going to put their pet down when they can't afford the treatment? Or use credit and have crazy interest... If you're able to have a proper emergency fund then sure feel free to skip the insurance but most are living paycheck to paycheck...

What kind of expenses are you talking about? We (only) spend about $60 per month on our 2 cats who seem to be perfectly happy & healthy.

Summary: 1) Save on food. Plan your meals. Avoid waste. Don't go to grocery shopping when you are hungry. 2) Cut out all monthly expenses/subscriptions that are non-essentials. Find cheaper but acceptable alternatives to expensive items on the monthly expenses. 3) Don't buy coffee/drinks from store. Stop buying junk food, junk drinks, snacks. Don't buy processed food. Go out to eat out less. 4) Avoid impulse buying online. 5) Budget your expenses base on what you need to survive with a strict limit and save/invest the rest of the income. 6) Take advantage of promotional free bonus money ($200-300) by creating new accounts and setting up direct deposits. 7) Earning more: a) overtime, b) side hustles, c) get new skills and use to make money online

Do grocery pick up. Don’t even go inside. Shop your pantry to meal plan.

You make great points, but as someone on a pension (only source of income at the moment) saving even $5-K this year is a daunting task, what with increased rent, grocery prices, having just paid another $1.7-K in Federal Tax on top what was already taken out, bills, rising entertainment costs, and generally being nickel-and-dimed to death (last year a “sanitation charge” of $9/mo was added to my water/internet bill) I’m very frugal w/ electricity, water, supermarket shopping (no meat, cheese, sodas, coffee, “impulse items”) and my phone bill is $35-40/mo but I’m seriously considering moving to save at all. It’s impossible these days, and neither major party is helping hard-working folks, or those who have and would like to find some modest income stream to supplement themselves.

I shop for groceries in person. There are usually discounted items that don't even appear in online offerings. I save a fair amount of money by getting meat from the Manager's Special section (always at least 30% below original price), baked goods from the Oops We Baked Too Much rack, and miscellaneous items from the Clearance stack. I also look low and high along each aisle that I visit - this is where the lower cost and clearance items are stacked.

we turned down our heat and air conditioning and air-dry our clothes. given that we have kids, it saves about 3-5$ a week. not much but it helps. we also try to keep a fairly empty fridge. that way we waste less food bc we know what we have. i work instacart, sell things on ebay.

What irritates me was having wages deducted for health insurance at work, and for so many of my 33 years, never made use of it (other than a clinic visit after bronchitis, flu etc.) and I rarely was ill. Dental/Vision was separate; made more use of those, but to save I had to drop the Vision part, even while still working. But did I see any of that income taken but not spent go towards future health needs, or even returned just a little bit to me? HELL NO. Insurance pisses me off worse than rent/housing costs in the USA. 😠
