    Well, I'm guessing if they just had their electric shut off, she hasn't accumulated that much in savings. We don't know the who the employer is, or what her salary is. You can't really assume things. I teach. The average teacher salary in PA is about $48,000./yr. That figure is what tenured teachers, on average of 10+ years, make. So, you have to look at the facts and not go on just "averages". Assuming isn't going to help either side... and you know what they say about assumptions.

    Hopefully they will be able to find $6.75.

    I'm not assuming anything. I stated the facts about nurses salaries in Tennessee. She did not dispute.

    Well, not to be argumentative, but unless you personally know that her mom gets that actual salary, you are assuming. Salaries stated for states are, on the norm, based on averages, meaning there are higher, and there are lower, and the middle is the average. Either way, it's more than likely not Bri's business to post her mom's salary online. I wouldn't do it. If they are hurting for cash right now, let's just leave it at that, unless you want to go ask her mom for a copy of her last paystub, which I can't see her mom reacting to positively, lol.

    Truthfully, the amount I put down is quite a bit lower than the average for Tennessee. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. I have no idea what she makes, and would never ask. I do know what I made as a nurse before I retired.

    My point is - for the price of $6.75 this poor cat might not get medical care. That is outrageous to me.

    Um, have you been paying no attention to what I wrote? They won't do the FeLV without the test, and we're not getting the bordetella, so there is enough in the fund.
