Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

    Brush your teeth twice a day. Floss daily

    Go for a 20 minute walk a few times a week

    Don’t have a pet

    Prevention is much cheaper than dentists and doctors in America

    Pets are amazing but if you’re searching the couch for extra change for a meal they don’t need to be in your life.

      Holy crap pets. Both of my dogs passed, but it was about $1,000/yr each for normal stuff, when you add it all up. Food, vet, boarding, toys, beds, etc. you aren’t kidding.

      I also know that people will skip better food and the vet, meaning they end up with unhealthy pets too.

        All of the foods suck, just use your dog as a food disposal for healthy stuff that is starting to get sketchy. There stomach can handle it, and honestly my dog will pull it out of the trash or compost bin completely wrotten and eat it anyway.

        Also don’t buy a dog if you live in an apartment, or don’t have land and refuse to walk, it’s just mean. They are meant to expend a crazy amount of energy, and the blame only falls at your own shoes when they inevitably destroy your apartment or have health issues.
