That being said, management of one's money and making any purchase that is within a person's budget shows intelligence and responsibility, just the type of person that should buy a dog.

It's not a matter of whether or not price is discussed, but rather whether or not it's the first question out of people's mouths. And not to be argumentative, but I've found the opposite to be true with the people I know. Those with a comfortable life style tend to be a little more picky about being separated from the dogs for a vacation- if the dog can't go, they don't go...and boy, do those dogs go to some NICE places; while those who are not tend to see nothing wrong with leaving the dogs out in the backyard with a big pile of food and a couple bowls of water for a long weekend away because kenneling is too expensive. Of course, there are exceptions to every argument.
