If something were to happen, regardless of what that may be, YES our pets would be 100% taken care of financially. The way I see it..as long as our pets are taken care of...what business is it of anyone else's to tell me we're not "saving the right way"?? I made this thread to give people who don't have anything set aside for their pets...another choice.
It isn't just this thread. There are tons of threads I have written or replied to and people insist on bashing me or slamming me, and I'm quite fed up with it, truth be told. I'm sick of attempting to help people, with my heart in the right place only to have busybodies come and start yammering about how I'm in the wrong. I'm not asking everyone (and their dog) to agree with me, but I don't think it's too much to ask to at least disagree with some sort of tact to your reply.
Anyway...I'm done with the "poor me" routine, but thank you again, Navillusc, for your tactful reply, it is appreciated. |
Are you referring to me???
It sure seems that way, because I am the one that disagreed with you. My intent was not to be rude. I believe my response was straight forward & concise, AND I clearly stated it was In My Opinion.
You state yourself that you are "gullible" and "naive". What if another person also gullible and naive, based on your recommendation, deposited their money with a vet, and the vet didn't keep proper accounting practices or went out of business, died...whatever you can possibly imagine...and the person wasn't able to easily get their funds back, if at all? How would you feel then?
I stick by my belief that it is not wise to place your money in a Federally un-insured account (not to mention one that doesn't pay interest). These threads are not only for your benefit, but for the benefit of anyone else that may come along in the future and read them. If sharing my 2cents makes someone a little more informed and/or possibly helps someone to stop and think before deciding where to place their money (especially those that have little of it as is), I'm good with that.
