It's also a good idea to have a financial cushion in case of a medical emergency.

If you are living paycheck to paycheck because of how many pets you have, then it is time to start adopting some of them out.

You won't be doing any of them any good if you over extend your finances or physical abilities.

If you've got all of those things covered then you probably don't need to worry.
