We live from paycheck to paycheck, we live in a small home with 4 kids kids (13 to 7) and I will admit we have more animals than we probably should, and just took on one more. However, all of them are fixed (except for the new dog), well fed, groomed, vetted when needed, excersized and well loved. I wouldnt give up a single one. We dont have a savings account for our pets, but have always paid the bill when something came up. Our bills are paid, we have food on the table, and clothes on our back and my kids or animals dont lack for anything. So yeah, I think its fine for lower income families to have pets as long as they are taking care of they way they should be.
